Hi
For years we have been using Ghost to clone machines. If we clone from
one box to a different box then windows would need repairing and after
that everything would be fine.
About a year ago we started to use sysprep to reseal the machines
before cloning large amounts of the same machine, so I am aware of
sysprep but also aware that I probably don't use it to its full
potential.
However suddenly we are having huge problems when it comes to cloning
from one type of machine to a different type. Windows will blue screen
when it starts up for the first time on the cloned machine (this is
typical so I thought I would repair windows). Windows will copy all its
files required to the hard drive and when goes to restart to start the
full installation it blue screens again.
I then get this loop where it won't boot and it won't repair. I don't
know why this is.
I have tried using the BuildMassStorageSection line in sysprep before
cloning with no luck.
I am cloning from a IDE to SATA machine but I have done so in the past
with no problems.
Can anyone suggest something I can try to get around this problem. I
have looked briefly into the -factory -pnp switches but don't know if
these are relevant.
Thanks
Andy
