Is it possible to restore a norton ghost Windows7 image to a bootcamp partition ?

Trying to setup a dual boot environment on a new Mac Air with MacOS and Windows7 using Bootcamp. Rather than the normal way of installing Win7 from the vanilla install media, is it possible to restore a Norton Ghost image of a different (PC) laptop to the new Win7 partition?

MacBook Air

Two "no" on this.

Activation needs to be retail OS. That okay?

Moving Windows to another motherboard almost never works and is buggy and unstable. Been there tried that.

Ghost does not support Boot Camp and the UEFI/GPT scheme used. Nor does Acronis. Paragon Software has come along with Boot Camp support.
