Why not just use Windows backup - Free, included with Windows, can be restored by booting to the win7 CD, and image based.
I will recommend that you shall try acorns true image home 2011.
Although it is not free, but it is very user-friendly and easy to use.

>> please guide me as to how can i avoid installing all those softwares all again in a new formatted pc, << some notes :
you can restore images with the software mentioned above to the same PC
however, if you want to move it to other hardware, you'll need something more powerful like :
paragon adaptive restore : http://www.paragon-software.com/business/adaptiverestore/
or acronis universal restore
