I have tried on many occasions to bulid a windows 2000 machine install all company apps and then create an image using symantec ghost 2001. every time I reimage another machine from the this image, the pc boots as normal to the win2k logo screen, then has a blue screen stop message 'INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE" or on some machine it will just reboot at that point. I have tried uninstalling the drive controllers from device manager then treating the image but have had no luck.

When imaging a Windows 2000 machine, you have to run sysprep on the machine that will be the base image before creating the image that will be put on all the other machines. Make sure to not reboot back into Windows afterwards, otherwise sysprep will have to be run again. The Windows OEM will be the same for all the other images so be sure to write it down for future reference.
