Copying Windows 7 image from Altiris to BootCamp partition

I have a Windows 7 image that is being used to deploy to PC's with Altiris. I'm looking for a way to get that image onto my iMac's bootcamp partition so I can use WinClone to make an image that I can deploy with Casper Suite. Does anyone know if this is possible? Or should I just recreate the image on my iMac?

I looked into this a few weeks ago and didn't find anything. If someone has
a method, I'd love to hear it too.

Thx
Jon

Look at the asr command, it just block copies an image to a partition,
it may or may not work. However, since all new intel Macs use EFI,
there does need to be a legacy boot sector installed on the HD (if I
recall) so you must probably create your partition with boot camp, and
then block copy your image to that partition.

Assuming your image is an ISO that is, as ISO images are the same
standard as DMG and you can just change the file suffix and it should
work.
