Be careful when using the method Aydinz is suggesting. it looks like you are using an MBR partition scheme on your disk since you are using windows on it as well... this being the case, simply restoring an image to a partition will cause you to lose your windows bootloader. This problem can be addressed different ways. You can use this method but reorder your partitions by placing your OS X partition first and then your others to follow, then install chameleon to enable your OS X system to boot up and then it will act as a bootloader of sorts for the others...

other ways of doing the same thing are to use a linux distro to edit the mbr table or recreate a new bootloader. By the way...

Do to system limitations I can not boot a linux distribution from the DVD drive
how did you get linux installed? I guess this option is out the window.

Another way is to use your Windows install disk to do the same things. Good luck, and remember not to delete the data from your 500GB until you have working systems. :-)
