It's not the HALs you need to worry about, it's the storage drivers. The
images will "boot" far enough to blue screen with STOP code 0x7B (aka
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE).

If you can get the storage drivers squared away they'll most definitely
boot - I know this 'cause I have a "universal" XP SP3 ghost image that
will Just Work (except for things like audio) on the machines in
question.
