Thread needs solution

I am new with acronis.
I know how to backup one partition (entire bootable harddisk by itself )and restore the image to another blank hdd.
Here is scenario and i didnt know what to . Please Help
SCENARIO
I had a program installed on a hard disk.
The hard disk has 4 partitions. It boots in the begining and gives me 2 options , select boot from windows xp or windows server
now with 4 partitions i didnt know how to backup them separately. So i made a backup image of the the entire 500 gb hard disk.
Now i want to restore it.
QUESTIONS ?
if i buy a new hard disk which is one single partitionby default. And I try to restore this single image (4 partitions embedded inside) to the new hardisk which only has 1 new blank partition indisde it. Will the Acronis create 4 partitions automatically??

Hello nany yyy,

yes, all needed partitions will be created automatically if you restore your backup in a disk mode. Moreover, all the data stored on the target disk will be replaced by the backed up data.

Thank you.
