sysprep from desktop to laptop

[Guest]

What is the easiest way to get images to work on any platforms? Currently my image will only work on Dell and a few other desktops. As soon as I try booting a laptop with it it goes bezerk! Any ideas? I'm using the bootdisks from Norton Ghost 2003, which has pretty generic drivers so I don't get what's wrong. Here's my file

Make sure that the computer type on the orginal template
before sysprep is set to ACPI PC, Not Standard pc.

if original installation was done with a Dell OEM disk there might be
problems. I have heard some say that they can't use their Dell XP install
disk on non-Dell machines. please point me in the right direction if I am
wrong.

What did you build the image on? What happens if you just boot from
DOS disk and run Ghost.exe to restore the image? What specifically i
the error condition?

I've built a single image that installs fine on virtually any deskto
or laptop. It most certainly can be done
