For more information on HAL compatiblity use the following knowledgebase article: Q309283 HAL options after Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 Setup.

The master installation and the destination computers must have compatible hardware abstraction layers (HALs).

The requirements for using Sysprep as part of disk duplication process are at the following: After cloned, Sysprep modifies the local computer security ID (SID) on the destination computer the first time the computer is restarted so that the SID is unique to each computer. Sysprep prepares the sample computer for cloning. Sysprep is a tool to deploy Windows XP on multiple computers. So to prevent duplicated SID, Microsoft provides a tool вЂњ SysprepвЂќ to handle this problem. But you canвЂ™t join the cloned computer to same domain as the original computer.

On stand-alone computer, this is not a problem. If you cloned the Windows, they would have the same SID and may cause many problems when both computers are in the same domain. There is one problem since Microsoft Windows 2000 has assigned a unique security ID (SID) to each computer when it was installed. In this tutorial, IвЂ™ll use the popular one Norton Ghost.Д«ut wait, donвЂ™t start cloning a disk now. This can be done using Disk Imaging Softwares such as Norton Ghost, Acronis True Image, R-Drive Image, Paragon Drive Backup, etc. So that the destination disk has the same data as the source disk. It creates image file bit-by-bit from source disk and then restores the data on destination disk. Cloning, the name has already described what it does.

But what if there are more than 10 computers or 100 computers waiting you to install and setup. It would takes few hours to complete that. What will you do? Go to each computer, sit and manually install Windows XP? If only a few computers, itвЂ™s OK to do that. If you are a corporate administrator or an IT staff, you may have confront a situation that you have to install and setup Windows XP on many computers which all computers have identical hardware configurations.
