boot.ini changes during image

When I image a device, I find when I bring the system back down the boot.ini
file gets changed. The system still boots, but a strange line appears. I put
2 boot.ini in this email. The first is the one that it keeps changing two,
and the second is the original. The original gets automatically changed to
boot.bak.

I get this using sysprep2.0, and imaging w/o sysprep. I am using a
slipstreamed Windows XP SP2 CD. I am imaging with rdeploy, by Altiris. This
has happened multiple times.

Any ideas ?

The "strange line" is a link to the Recovery Console for Windows.
Maybe your imaging tool adds this by default for some reason. Consult
the manual of the software for more help or ask the author.
