The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Multi-system Sysprep ghost image on NW9440 laptop blue screens and reboots

Asked by jindalee in Windows XP Operating System, .NET

Tags: Symantec Ghost

I have built a multi hardware sysprep image which I have been using on all the laptops we have in the organisation. The image has been working beautifully on every build of laptops we have (IDE and SATA) and install all the device drivers and joins the machine to the domain as I wanted it to. The problem that I am having is that I now have 2 SATA laptops (HP nw9440), which need imaging. Every time I use Symantec ghost to distribute the image to the machine they are giving me the BSOD and rebooting. I can get around this by disabling SATA Native Mode in the BIOS but Id obviously prefer to keep this enabled. I have managed to get this image working perfectly on a HP 8510w, nw8240, nw8440s Laptops which I believe also have SATA HDDs. I have compared the

I have tried building the mass storage drivers using the sysprep bmsd switch which populates the sysprep.inf file and also by using the BuildMassStorageSection = yes line as you can see from my sysprep file below. I have tried building the mass storage drivers on both the 8510w and nw9440 and when the sysprep.inf file was populated the content appeared to be exactly the same.

Does anyone have any idea of how I can get this image of mine to work on my SATA (nw9440) laptop?
