First of all you need to boot with some external media, like another USB stick or livecd with the dd tool in it. Once there, use the dd tool in order to copy the new image to the hard disc. Be aware that you will erase your hard disc with this operation.

dd if=/newimage of=/dev/sda

where /dev/sda is the hard disc.

Some times you may experience some trouble if you had a system already installed with some partitions created, so it is recommended that you erase all partitions, for example by using the fdisk tool. Once again, be aware that you are going to erase all data in your hard disc, so make sure you really want this.
