Sysprep problems

[Kevin Haklar]

Hi,

We are currently trying to use Ghost 7.5 to deploy XP Pro machines. We
create an image run sysprep, then take an image dump. That works fine and
afterwards the machine goes through the setup. So we know sysprep works fine
as teh automated setup finishes without a problem. The problem occurs when
we try to image a machine that has a different hardware spec. The image
loads ok to the machine. However on restart the machine goes into a loop,
whereby you get the options to boot up, safe mode, normal etc. But no matter
which option you choose the machine reboots and goes round in this cycle.
Any ideas??

Thanks

Kevin,

I've typically seen this happen when the Sysprep.inf file doesn't have the
right Mass Storage Driver listed in the SysprepMassStorage section.

Just want to say thanks, Tried it with the mass storage device in sysprep
and it worked perfectly.
