Not having good luck with the Sysprep process
Hi Kari, I am trying to use your method 3. I upgraded my motherboard and CPU from from an SLI-DR Socket 939 AMD 64 bit 4000+ to a new Intel Intel 2600K with an MSI P67A GD65 (B3)... motherboard, 8GB DDR3 1600 dual channel, new case, same Wireless N Dlink wifi card and a few other peripherals. I created a backup and image using windows 7 utilities first and also ran the transfer settings wizard. It took about 15 hours to backup my 500gb hard drive to a USB 2 drive. I bought a new 1 TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM 32MB cash and I want to make an image copy of the old drive onto the new one. First I ran the sysprep process on the old drive in the old system and shut it down. Then I put the old drive into the new system and I'm trying to boot up. It seems to be generalized, but it keeps failing when it tries to start services. It says it will retry after restarting the computer. It's done that about 20 times. I don't think it's working. Was it too big of a change to hope for success using the sysprep/generalize approach?![]()
