Dell SX270 machines, VLK windows install with the dell drivers and our
Office software package and Novell 4.9

Wehn we image this to new sx270 machines, during the GUI protion of setup,
we gat errors of

Windows could not load installer for ports
Windows could not load installer for Cdroms
Windows could not load installer for disks



And the system will not procedd past this point. If image it back to the
original machine there are no problems.
If I image it using Powerquest Deploy center, and deploy it, it works fine.

Any ideas.
 
Okay. Figured out how to fix it, but I do not know why
the RIPREP.SIF file I created with the Windows XP SP1 version of
setupmgr.exe included the line
[unattended]
UpdateInstalledDrivers = Yes

This caused the image to try and enumerate and update the drivers for all
installed devices. Removing it fixed the problem.
