To flash the on board NAND I use the Allwinner app Livesuite to flash via USB. These images require livesuite to unpack and flash to the proper area of the NAND flash.
To unpack, look on github for the A10 tools or google unimg_esxgx. (original author of unimg)

Not sure of any tool to create an SD card image from an unpacked Android NAND image. Maybe Tom can help here. ;-)

To create(burn) custom SD card images from a window machine I use an app called WinImage after I have dl or built using my linux vbox.

If you have issues with the win 7 driver let me know, I might be able to help.

Best option is to setup VirtualBox on your Win 7 machine if you want to create custom SD card images.
