I decided to use sysprep/ghost to make an image of Windows XP.
I did not remove any settings/hardware before I ran sysprep.
1. ran sysprep with -pnp and -reseal option.
2. System shutdown and I use my ghost boot disk
3. Created an image of the hard drive
4. I restarted the system, I ran sysprep on.
I burned the ghost images to a 6 CDR disk. I also copied then to an USB
external drive.
I decided to test the ghost images on a similar but not identical machine.
The hardware was slightly different, but had the same type of CPU.
After I loaded the ghost images, the system rebooted. Now when I try to
load XP, the system will not boot. (The screen is black and there is no
response). I can not boot using safe mode either. The system will not boot
into any mode of windows XP. I waited four hours for the computer to load
XP. I tried using the recovery console commands fixboot and chkdsk.
Nothing works. I can probably run a repair, but have not tried it.
Do you have any idea of what could be causing the problem?
