[Drbl-user] Windows 7/2008r2 Server deployment and mass storage drivers

[Knox, P. <pet...@hp...>]

Hi,

I'm looking for any help for a solution with imaging Windows 7 (in my case Server2008r2) installations.  I push the cloned images out to hardware that has different mass storage controllers.  I was able to overcome this issue in Windows Server 2003 by using sysprep and specifying a mass storage section in the sysprep.inf for all the mass storage controllers that we use.

However, as of Windows 7 the functionality has changed substantially.  From what I've read in order to push in image out to hardware with different mass storage controllers, it looks like you need to use Microsoft's own imaging tools and install those boot-critical drivers into an offline image.

Has anyone using Clonezilla found a way to have a single Windows 7 image work across hardware with various mass storage controllers?
