Changing disk IO drivers with BartPE or similar

Hi chaps, Bit of an off the wall question. I have a bartpe disk running our disk imaging software, and I have an image of a machine. The machine has died, and a new one has been shipped, however its not the same spec and the machine blue screens when you load it off the image due to disk IO driver

Thanks Ken. I keep forgetting about 2008 :) So I should say this is IIS6 on 2003. I've enabled basic authentication (SSL is in place) and I've seen that either using \ or in the domain should make the user be able to enter as the username and have the default domain name inserted. Olly -O

It makes no difference if this is 2000/2003/2008 - the actual authN technologies aren't any different. If you are using Basic authentication, then setting the Domain and Realm fields should be enough. The user should be able to just enter "username" and IIS can insert the relevant Domain before
