If you created a backup image using Windows "Backup & Restore", you need to go back into Backup & Restore and click "Create a system repair disc". When you boot from that CD you will be able to restore from the backup image.

Similarly, with Acronis True Image you also need to create a bootable CD from the within the Acronis application, as explained here: http://www.whatsabyte.com/P1/create_cd.htm
