I want to use an image of Windows 2000 on different machines with different
hardware makeups.

Is this possible if Sysprep is used in conjunction with Symantec Ghost? If
so, please explain or point me in the right direction on how to do this.
Thanks very much.
 
NO !

The platforms have to be the same. For example cloning a Dell GX240 to another GX240 will
work. Cloning a Dell GX240 to a Dell GX400 will fail. You need to keep an image for each
model platform.

The source and destination must have 99% of the same motherboard chip-sets or a lock-up or
BSoD will be the result. Now a repair install *may* fix the destination platform. The
chances however of a successful repair install is higher with WinXP than Win2K. No matter
how you slice it, separate images for each model platform need to be kept.
