Ghost 10 restore - does it move partitions?

I'm trying to install a solid state disk (SSD) on my Win XP system.  I have already created

1. a Ghost V10 image file (extension: V2I) from the current hard disk, which is also a SATA drive running on a Promise SATA/ATA controller on my Asus motherboard. 

2. a partition on the SSD, offset ('aligned') at 512 KBytes.  XP requires this alignment for the SSD controller to function.

 

Question: if i boot into XP and retore the Ghost image file, will it delete and move the SSD partition, or leave it as-is when it restores the files?  (I do not want it  touch the partition that I created.) 

 

Do I also have to do the following separately, or will the image restore do it:

a. Mark the partition 'active.'

b. Create a MBR either before or after the image restore.
