IFW and Image on the same disk?

I'm using Win 7 x64, a 250GB SSD (just one partition), 4 USB ports all USB3. I have a 128GB, USB3 thumb drive. If I use this drive as the emergency boot disk, can I also create an image of C on the same drive? Or do I need a boot disk and a separate one for the image?
Thanks,
David

David,
Yes, that will work. But is the 128 GB UFD large enough to hold the image of the OS partition.

Is the 128 GB or MB?????
I haven't seen a thumb drive that large.

Thanks for your replies. The drive is in fact 128GB ($27.99 in Costco. Want one?). And the last image I made was 65+GB. I only have Win 7 and programs I use all the time on C, all data and other programs are a 5TB USB3 drive. Do I make the drive a boot disk and then create the image using the same drive as the destination after that?

yes, you'd want to create the boot media first since it's easier to use
makedisk which will overwrite it.
