Can anyone suggest a web forum that supports XP deployments beyond the MS site. I am having issues with the MS tools for building and deploying images and need a second opinion.

I am imaging Dell equipment using Ghost and the sysprep tools.

I don't have a specific site for you. I can tell you from my experience with the above senario, you will want to manually enter the MassStorageDevices option into the sysprep.inf file if that is the way you are deploying your systems.

Not adding that option will most likely result in a blue screen when you try to start up an imaged system. It will also allow you to deploy your image to a wider range of systems beyond the current model of Dell your are currently deploying.

Hope that information is helpful. Feek free to contact me if you need further information.

Hello and thanks. I am still looking for a forum where the types of issues I am running into are part of the discussions. I am being fairly successful in the basic image builds and deployments. I need to go to the next level with consolidating my images into a more manageable number.
