I remember using sysprep tool to clear all the dependencies of windows 
to your hardware and used 'partimage' to take the image of NTFS 
partition. If you r going to install on the same machine I guess you 
wouldn't need sysprep. partimage is cool. Boot of the knoppix and use 
the partimage. You can use partitionmagic or Qtparted to resize your 
partition at the end. I haven't used Qtparted with NTFS so no comments 
on that though. I've used partition magic to resize NTFS partitions 
quite a few times and worked well.
