That's why you use Sysprep in addition to ghost. You sysprep it, use the PNP / Mini Setup options. It will redetect hardware at boot.

Ghost doesn't care about the hardware But when you boot the box back up with different hardware it may not like it vary much. It would be the same as taking the HDD from one server and putting into another server with a different hardware configuration -----Original Message----- From: Johan Sunnerstig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 4:52 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Good Win2K installation image program? Does Ghost allow installing images to computers with different hardware than the original? Say I move from an old K6 box or something, to a brand new dual Xeon workstation?

I use Symantec's Ghost for such things. Ghost makes a binary image of a workstation drive that can be quickly reapplied to the drive. Install a reference machine with the OS, patches, and all desired software. Use Win2K's SysPrep.exe prior to making the Ghost image to allow Windows to run a mini-setup program when the image is reapplied. Run Ghost to make the image(s) which can then be stored on a server or burned onto CD(s). Reinstalls take minutes instead of hours. _VT_VT_VT_VT_VT_VT_VT_VT_VT_VT_VT_VT_VT_VT_ Todd Pukanecz, MCSE, GCWN Virginia Tech, Ag Human and Natural Resources IT Blacksburg, Virginia "I am proud to be an taxpaying American, but I could be just as proud for half the money!" -- Will Rogers > -----Original Message----- > From: Johan Sunnerstig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 8:30 AM > To: NT 2000 Discussions > Subject: Good Win2K installation image program? > > > Hi. > I need a program that can create a bootable CD from a Windows 2000 > installation, and include any installed programs.
