Symantec Norton Ghost or PowerQuest DeployCenter to create the image files
2. Setting the module attributes
3. Building the module from the image files
Creating and preparing the image files
To create and prepare Hardware-Specific Image source files, do the following:
1. On a source computer, install the Windows operating system that you want
on your target computers. You can use any file system that you want.
2. Install any application programs that will be common across all of your target
computers.
3. Install the Microsoft Sysprep program designed for your operating system in
the C:\SYSPREP folder. Do not run SYSPREP.EXE at this time.
