I am trying to build a single "master" XP image that will
work on a variety of Dell laptops and desktops. Does
anyone know of a comprehensive document to accomplish this?
Please read what I've done below and see if you can help.

is the best I've found, but doesn't explain the issues I am
having and is a little too customized for what I need right
now.
Here is my sysprep.inf file:

I created Drivers folders at c:\drivers\GX150\audio
c:\drivers\gx150\video
ETC I unzipped all the Dell driver files to those
directories, but now I see that some of the folders do not
contain INF files (specifically the Intel chipset drivers I
noticed).
I changed the driver on the Dell GX280 to ACPI from ACPI
Uniprocessor and also changed all hard drive controllers to
their "Standard" equivalents from the Intel drivers. I
then sysprepped the machine using mini-setup and
pre-activated switches. The machine I cloned the GX280 to
(a GX260), using Ghost 7.5, is in a reboot loop. It gets
to the Windows XP Logo BOX as if it's trying to start the
mini-setup but it finally stops and reboots spontaneously
with no error.
Help! It seems like this should be a lot easier than the
time I am having. I have read suggestions to build the
image on the lowest hardware you have and I may try that
next. Also, I have read that the size of the hard drive
should be small to make the image more compatible over a
wide range of hardware. Mine is an NTFS partition over
30GB, so maybe that's an issue.
Thanks in advance,
Aaron
