Installation of Multiple Vistas - cloning disk image and set up BCD manually?
Hi guys,
I have a need to install 4 systems of Vista on a single machine (4 partitions of my main system hard disk). Given that Vista always seems to see its own system drive as C, would it be possible to create my "master image" with SP1, all my drivers, utilities, system tweaks, and other "generic" applications (like Office/Acrobat etc), and then just clone this drive across to all the partitions I need to set up (on D, E, and F). Then, using VistaBootPRO, I could edit the BCD to include all the other partitions. Can anyone think of a reason this would not work? Many thanks! Martin |
I cant shed to much technical light on this...
But at my Uni, they made an image for Vista, then coppied it on 180 machines... Sure they used a Norton Product? Sure i seen Symantec? So would that be ghost? A techie installed of a disc, and then just changed the licence key... Sure M$ actually have a utility to do this... I am also lead to belive that you can create the ideal setup in VMWARE, and then actually copy the image to a fixed partition, however, not sure how this is done... |
What you need is the Windows Automated Installation Kit

Thank you to you both!! :-)
Cheers, Martin |
