woody.cool Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hi all,I'm in the process of making a Vista SP2 image of my laptop, which is a Dell Latitude D610.I've installed the updates and SP2, then ran SYSPREP with OOBE selected and Generalize ticked.Upon first reboot (after Sysprep has run and after I've taken my image), the machine just stays on the 'Please wait while Windows continues setting up your computer.' screenAfter about 30 minutes, I got bored and powered down the machine.I tried it again, for a second time, but I got exactly the same thing.If I don't tick Generalize, it works fine, but I want the Generalize option ticked so that it clears up the crap left behind and makes it 'unique' (I can then use the same image on other simialr machines of the same type/hardware config)Any ideas?Cheerswoody.cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 You probably want to access that HD from a boot disc or another system and get the Panther and CBS log files to review what happened during sysprep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody.cool Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 I tried it again, only this time, there was no problem ..... although it took an age to complete the step mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some systems take a long time detecting the display adapter and cause this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
