Upgrading Windows 2000 image to use GX280

[Biagio]

I have a Ghost image with GX240, GX260 and GX270 support
on it, the image works great runing windows 2000 Server.
When I try to upgrade to GX280. I have a major chipset
problem. The image boots right into Windows, however it
will not correctly run the hardware even with the drivers
installed. It runs out of System recources and finds 15
items in device manager called syestem resources. When I
buld the image clean just for a GX280 it seems to work
fine. I am stuck because, I have about 100 images to that
need support for the GX280. Please if anyone can help,
that would be great.

E-mail me at (e-mail address removed)

Thank you in advance.

Hi Biagio,

In general you have to add new driver support for each chipset that
released. In the case of the GX280 you also have PCI-X and SATA. It's
one of the reasons I don't use imaging. I just add the new drivers to
the network build.

The good news is that the Intel SATA has some kind of "emulation" that
allows it to be seen as a legacy IDE drive until the proper driver is
installed. you don't get this luxuary on AMD.
