No you don't need windows loaded however you do need to create an Acronis boot CD. Preferably test the CD BEFORE you format to ensure you can access the backup image from where you saved it.

Just make sure you do not have problems on your OS before backup, or else with every restore backup problems will be back.

how do i test it or make a boot up cd

k found it hahah

It's quite easy, make the bootable CD, burn, boot from it and follow on-screen instructions

The restore is a bit difficult if you have multiple partitions on the same HDD. You do not want to restore the MBR, just the partition when asked.
