I apologize if this has been asked before, however I was unable to find it. I am trying to create one image that can be loaded on any laptop/desktop in my environment. As far as I am aware I need to use sysprep w/sysprep.inf and not the winbom.ini(factory mode). I have all the drivers loaded on the image and everything loads fine when I do an unattended install for each model using the same unattend.txt file. My sysprep file is as follows: ;SetupMgrTag [Unattended] OemSkipEula=Yes ExtendOEMPartition = 1 InstallFilesPath=C:\Windows\CSS\i386 OemPnPDriversPath= "Windows\Drivers\C600;Windows\Drivers\C810;Windows\Drivers\C840; Windows\Drivers\D600;Windows\Drivers\GX150;Windows\Drivers\GX240;Windows\Drivers\GX260;Windows\Drivers\GX270; Windows\Drivers\M60;Windows\Drivers\WS340;Windows\Drivers\WS360;Windows\Drivers\WS530;Windows\Drivers\WS650; Windows\Drivers\X200;Windows\Drivers\zOther;Windows\Drivers\zPrinters" TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 OEMSkipRegional=1 OEMDuplicatorstring="XP Load Version 1.0" TimeZone=20 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey= FullName="Authorized User" OrgName="*********************" ComputerName=xp [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 [GuiRunOnce] Command0=c:\windows\css\start.exe [Identification] JoinDomain= DomainAdmin= DomainAdminPassword= [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes I have tried 3 machines (2 desktop models and 1 laptop model) and have got inconsistent results on each. Each system gives me a blue screen when it is booting into windows(before mini-setup). After starting the computer in safe mode I see each file being loaded and then it pauses at a file and blue screens. One image I took from a desktop blue screens at "MUP.SYS", the image I took from a laptop blue screened at a video driver file. Could someone please explain what I need to include or steps I need to perform such as removing registry keys or device drivers before I sysprep and image the machine containing the base load. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

well this may work. use a back up tools norton or waht ever. insatlled xp then load the back up. this way xp can pick the right drivers, good luck i can fix most probs but we all get stuck some days

I know it is possible, however I cannot get it to work. I am not having a problem using an imaging tool (ghost), I am having a problem with sysprep during its first run on a hardware platform that it was not built on.

hay give this a go download kill disk this will ow lvl format ur hard drives. may be when ur loading ur image its bumping heads with an old regstry making all tpyes of airs in new spots. or pull ur hard drive out make it a slave put on image then pop it back in the computer u want i can fix most probs but we all get stuck some days
