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?
