I figured out the issue. You cannot restore from a system image from the normal backup/restore app in Windows7, you can only do the restore by booting from the "System Repair Disk" that it lets you create. Apparently the normal restore app is just for doing a restore from the incremental file backup, which is a different format from the system image backup.
