Clonig and resizing together? These are two atomic
operations better kept separate.

Well two options
1) Take a batch B PC do an install and replicate all
the images.
2) use image from batch A to do the replication. Most
of the hardware changes will be detected by linux and
kernel/udev/hald will load suitable drivers on first
boot. You might have to reconfigure the GUI in linux.
For Windows partition, may god bless you. Windows XP
might cry out loud because of hardware changes.
