Dear all,
I have a reference system which is a DELL optiplex I7 , 8GB RAM, 500 gb SATA hard drive on which I have install only Windows Server 2008 R2.
And a destination PC which is a Core 2 DUO, 4GB ram, 2 hD of 500 GB mounted as RAID 1
From that reference system, I have run the sysprep command without any unattended xml file.
The idea is to restore the image generated from that PC into a PC which has a RAID controler using RAID 1 array and see if Windows is capable to start normally.
For that I have created a WinPE USB boot disk on which I have injected RAID driver of in order to be able to see the drive from my WInPE boot.
Here is the step that I have done :
1 - Run sysprep on reference PC
2- Reboot the reference PC using the WinPE USB flash disk
3- Capture the image of the reference PC onto a USB disk
4- On the destination PC, insert the WinPE boot disk and boot the PC
5- Run diskpart and LIST DISK command to see if I can see harddrive
6- Select the Disk 0 and create a Volume with partition size = to max size and format the disk as ntfs
7 - Reboot the PC on USB WinPE disk in order that drive letter C get associated to my PC Hard Disk
8 - Use ImageX /apply command to restore the reference PC image into the destination PC
9 - Then reboot destination PC normaly
The problem I met here is that when windows try to reboot, I get a blue screen with following error code :
STOP 0x0000007B (0xFFFF880009A98E8, 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFC)
The question I have is as follow :
As my reference PC gets normal SATA drive and my Destination PC has RAID 1 drive, I was able to restore the image on the destination PC but any reason why windows should not be able to start ? Does Image like this suppose to be used on extact same PC architecture ?
Thanks for clarification
regards
serge
