Hi guys,

I have faced a new problem. I installed XP Pro SP2 in my lappy applied Autopatcher, Softwares etc.

I just wanted to keep its image so i Sysprepped it and Restarted and Captured image through Imagex.

I wanted to make sure the image works so i tested it in Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1. I booted the VM through Win PE2 and applied the WIM image. When i Restarted it just Hanged showing nothing. Whats the problem????

I didnt used the Diskpart of WinPE2 to format the VM HDD i used Acronis Disk Director to Partition and format.

I was also unsuccessful last time when i Installed WinXP in VirtualBox (Virtualization app) and applied all the apps as above and captured the image inside the VM. When i applied it to fresh new Pc it showed BSOD. It only worked in VirtualBox VM.

Whats the Problem?

Help

in all likelyhood its because the Hardware profile on the image does not match that of the virtual machine. have you tried deploying the image back to the laptop?
