sysprep for deploying image to different hardware

[TechMasters]

I need to use Sysprep to deploy an XP image to computers with
different IDE disk controllers. I run sysprep using the /BMSD switch
on the computer with the source image at it sits there forever and
gives me a "Grace Experation has expired error"
It does seem to fill in the MAssStorage section on sysprep.inf but
when I boot the image to a destination computer with diff hardware I
get blue screen 00000007

How do I accomplish this? what am I doing wrong?

Try looking at your ACPI (motherboard types differ based on manufacture date)
for each hardware setup and driver location for that hardware setup. Turn
ACPI off while you install XP to setup an image for multi platform. Also look
at placing chipset drivers in a set location and edit your driver path in the
registry. This way when Windows comes up through Sysprep it will also locate
items you may need to bring up that hardware platform.
Good Luck!
