[How to make an all-hardware image to restore?]

Problem we had is that the vendor we use changes hardware configuration quite often plus different departments use different vendors. We used that procedure and had about a 96 percent success rate given the drivers where available when the primary image was created. only true problem i have encountered is with drivers not on image when imaged. the 4 percent that did not work at all where due to HAL though and we never could figure out why.
