So you have a blank drive from the format, you install Windows Server 2003
or Windows Server 2008.
They will run NTFS.sys which is the NTFS driver, that enables features for
that versio of Windows.
It does not redo the entire file system.
The drive is blank so there are no NTFS permissions, the OS sets
permissions on the Windows folders and files.

The image is of the OS, not of the entire drive. So it it simply places
the files and folders on top of the existing file system.
There are no permissions on the drive since you just formatted it.
The permissions are on Windows Files and Folders and those come from the
image.
What would be there to be merged?
Thanks,
