Image will not work on different systems

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

We've created an image with sysprep support and we are now able to install 2 different systems with that image. But with the 3rd one, after the image has been deployed, the system continually reboots. This should normally work, just like the 2nd one.

But has someone an answer or solution for this problem?

It is most likely due to the chipset being different. Just use yor XP CD and do a Repair install,
you will not lose any of the stuff that is installed already. You will however have to redo any
updates.

Remember, when imaging, all the computers have to have the exact same
(very close too it) hardware configuration or you are going to run into
problems. If you think it is messed up on accident, try making another
image and have another go at it.

See this:

do to system before imaging should solve most of your problems..
This is the technique I use at work (Education Center) where I ghost systems every day.
