Windows XP Sysprep - Blue Screens

[Bruce]

I am trying to setup a Windows XP Pro configuration for
deployment. I install on one model PC from scratch and
then Sysprep. When I run Sysprep with any of the
available switches, I blue screen and reboot when I try to
Ghost the image to a different model PC. Not sure what to
try at this point. I know the Windows 2000 Sysprep was
cut and dry. Never a problem when I used it.

There are two reasons for a crash that are common. If the system reboots
almost immediately after POST finishes, you have a HAL incompatibility. If
the System displays the XP logo and crashes, it usually means you do not
have the SysprepMassStorage section correctly implemented.

Here is one for Intel Mobo's using Intel controllers (note the 248B requires
you have the Intel ICH3 inf - 248B is found on some mobiles):
