Backup image on a new system

If I was to make a backup image of a computer that has a 250GB harddrive, which has been formatted as NTFS and partitioned into 60GB and 190GB. And take that image to another brand new computer with identical hardware specifications whose HD has neither been formatted to NTFS or partitioned and load the image onto the new computer, will the image also automatically format and partition the hard drive?

I will be using Acronis True Image to do this, btw.

Thanks

so it will format the hard drive to NTFS and make the partitions too?
 
The formatting of the partitions is part of what is stored in the image, yes it will recreate them.

If you had an image of a FAT32 partition it would restore it as FAT32 instead.
