How to write an IMG file to a hard drive?

I have a file with an IMG extention. This file is a copy of a hard drive,
not a CD or DVD. I do not know what application created this file.

Can someone tell me how to write this image file to a new hard drive? Is
there a Windows program capable of this? How about a "Live CD" of one of the
many Linux distro's, like Umbutu?

Thanks!

Have you tried a google search?
One program-MagicISO was mentioned as a possibility.
