Deploying Ghost Image to a Laptop

[b]

I'm trying to use my company's standard ghost image on a Toshiba Tecra
S3 and I'm getting a blue screen when Windows boots. I'm pretty sure
this is related to the hard drive controller.

Anyone have any similar experience and have suggestions to fix it?

Probably need to setup the SysprepMassStorage section:

This one of those 'single shot' deals?
Simply ghost it - do not boot to it, perform a Windows XP SP2 'Repair
Installation' and then boot and install all the latest patches. Change the
SID on the machine as well - NewSID should work fine.

How does one invoke this "NewSID" procedure?

If using Symantec Ghost - GhostWalker will do the same thing.

Neat. For those wishing to use the NewSID utility, its download
URL is on the last line of the Microsoft document.
