Is is possible to generalize sysprep an xp image, similar to how win 7 does when you check the generalize box.
Meaning that, if I load the correct drivers for another model before syspreping, I would be able to use that image on another model computer than what it was orginally syspreped on. The 2 models would not be simial either.
I know that it wouldn’t be the exact same thing if it is even possible.
If you need more info please let me know.
Thank You all for your help.
Unfortunately, no. Windows XP was not designed for disk duplication on different hardware. This article shows that you can only use disk duplication on similar hardware, and this page shows the exact needs for it to work properly.
