If you did the backup after the boot crash, the image will contain all the information after that crash.

If you restore a disk and partition image onto a disk or a partition, the target partitio will be completely erased, then the image will be restored. If you have backed up an XP system and if you restore it on a Win7 partition, you will lose the Win7 partition and get your XP partition back.

If you restore your image to another computer, you will need to use Universal Restore. Otherwise, most likely, your computer will not boot, because your image doesn't contain the drivers needed on your new computer.
