I have heard that there is an easy way to get around the
IDE driver issue when imaging 2000 and then applying that
image to anouther system board. I thought the solution
was to uninstall the IDE controller before syspreping and
imaging, but that does not seem to work. :-( If anyone
knows how to get around this blue sceen of death PLEASE
let me know ASAP.

Thanks in advance,

Do not uninstall IDE controller. Patch the template system before sysprep
according to MS KB Q271965
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;271965 and you
shouldn't have stop 0x7B.
You can clone only similar hardware, like standard HAL to standard one and
ACPI to ACPI.
