Ok, got this to work just fine on a E-6500 BUT, I noticed that if I take the hard drive out of a 6500, and put it in a 6400, it will still BSOD. With all the D-Series of Dell, or ATA/Non AHCI Dells I guess, I could move hard drives to all different types of hardware, no problem. Great if a user's D630 dies, and you need to give them a D830 spare, etc... Plop it in, and good to go. Any way around this? Or does AHCI complicated things so much that I am asking too much... Perhaps I could dump down the spare machines to ATA to get things rolling.... tia, Sam

The drivers dell has for downloads do NOT work. You have to get them from Intel. Yes i was stuck on that too which is why i commented it in the sysprep file..

XP SP3 changes the way it handles the account being sysprep under. If you are like us and use the admin account and expect that to be copyied over to your default profile during sysprep then you have to add "UpdateServerProfiledirectory=1" into the [Unattended] section.

To be on the safe side I ALWAYS put the device IDs in sysprep.inf EXACTLY the way they were in the driver .inf. I see I'm not the only one to suspect that putting "BuildMassStorageSection = YES" in there will override your custom SysprepMassStorage section ;) Johonn2 wrote: > I finished my sysprep for both the E6400 AHCI and IRRT and the Dell > OP760 series late last month.
