I just ran redo on a second machine and successfully backed up win7 to a USB stick and then restored it to a sata drive in one of these type things http://www.cclonline.com/product/74499/2...r/HDD3071/
I rebooted with an F12, selected the new drive and got a grub error because I'd written grub to the original drive so I booted into my primary linux partition done a "sudo update-grub", rebooted and got 2 windows options one on sda1 and one on sdb1.
Both were bootable but now I have the problem of 2 win7's cluttering up my grub menu! I hardly ever use windows.
I found the redo installer very unintuitive! I'll do it again and take some screen shots or do a video.
I might try again on machine one as win7 is on a 40GB drive there with an untouched windows MBR so should boot off F12
