Mini-setup looping

[John Watts]

I'm having a problem imaging Dell workstations. I sysprep
using 1.1, create the image with Ghost 7.5 with no
problems. Then about 30% of the time when I drop the
image onto a new system, the mini-setup will run once,
reboot, then start up again. And since the sysprep folder
has been deleted, everything is gone. Sometimes if I
reimage the pc it works, but not always. Suggestions?

The biggest problem with sysprep is mismatched HALs. Can you verify that
the HAL from the source is the same as the target?

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem. I verified the hals and
they are exactly the same.
I still have the same problem that the mini setup repeats..

I really would like some other suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
