Clonezilla comes as a bootable Linux ISO that can be written and booted from a USB drive.

You could even store the drive image to your windows NTFS partition temporarily and use that as a source to write the image back out.

I remember trying this and it worked.
The benefit about the VM is you can boot the the VM from the ISO. No need to leave your host OS. No need to physically boot your machine into clonezilla.
