Hi
I need help and advise on how to create a standard image (using Ghost or Powerquest Drive Image) that can be used across all PC

I have tried create a image after Sysprep using a HP Vectra PC and then ghost over to another IBM Netvista PC and Win XP do not start up. My purpose is to reduce the number of different images for different PCs

Thanks.

Greetings --

This cannot be done with WinXP. WinXP, like Win2K before it, is
not nearly as "promiscuous" as Win9x when it comes to accepting any
old hardware configuration you throw at it. On installation, WinXP
_must_ "tailor" itself to the specific hardware found.

Hi,

wrong!!

You can!!!!

Set up your master on your HP Vectra, put everything on the system what is
needed.
IMPORTANT: change the computer type two ACPI Advanced configuration and the
IDE controller to the IDE standard one. This is a must, especially the
first, because that gives you some sort of "universal" HAL
make sysprep folder on c:\ => extract the deploy.cab out support in their
and run setupmgr. Or use mine.
Create a folder in the root called drivers (see my sysprep.inf for the
layout of the oempnpdriverspath, no breaks => just one line)
Defrag your hdd
run bootvis.exe to optimize your system
run sysprep in the following way
1. sysprep.exe -bmsd
2. sysprep.exe -clean (wait until your hdd LED doesn't flash anymore or
just two minutes)
3. sysprep.exe -quiet -mini -reseal
=> the maschine will shutdown
=> imgae your hdd and distribute that image, depending on the size the
mini-setup will take 5-8 minutes.

My image runs on HP Vectra VL420, Compaq 530SFF, IBM Laptops T30,T40, T41,
and so on......


have fun, if you have any questions feel free to contact me:

Hello Marcus!


I did similar things in W2K, but there I needed to remove the driver
for the graphics adapter. Do you have any experiance in deploying the
image to computers with different graphics adapters?


Greetings

Hi,

yes it is possible. We use the image on desktops with NVIDIA-Adapters and
Laptops with ATI-Adapters.

regards,

Marcus Wolf
