(o.t xp client cloning)

Symantec (formerly Powerquest) V2i Desktop Edition (latest incarnation of
DriveImage, but much better. If chipsets are different on target machine,
I'm told you can run repair from the Install disk after the restore to get
the kernal back. This is the procedure for W2K. I'm not sure if true for
WXP.

Hello,

Looking for advice on disk imaging tools. I have Symantec Ghost 2001, which
is not compatible with XP. Looking at Symantec site, it seems that there are
some issues with cloning XP due to the product activation feature Microsoft
now uses. Anybody have suggestions?

Thanks

I haven't tried ghosting a system but my helpdesk tech will backup an xp
system to tape and restore it onto a similar system. When he brings up
the system he has to run a program to reset the system so he can enter a
legal product key. I don't remember the name of the program and he is
on vacation but it is possible to clone xp.

I have experimented some with PC Inspector's Clone Maxx @
http://www.pcinspector.de/clone-maxx/uk/welcome.htm

It works ok, but I did have some bsod's with it after cloning. It's worth a
try but I make no claims to it's content.
I believe it is also free.

Jim
