Re: WIM image works on Workstation, but not on Laptop

On the first scenario, it's probably stopping on the file after AGPCPQ.SYS,
which would be the HAL. What models of machines are you using? The
symptoms match those of a HAL mismatch. (Hyperthreaded desktops and all but
the latest laptop models use different HALs.)

ON the second scenario, I think we need more details. How are you
installing the IBM power management drivers? What does the Sysprep.inf look
like?
