You can ONLY clone like computer models. Dell GX240 to Dell GX240, Dell GX400 to Dell
GX400, etc...

If two platforms have 95% of the same motherboard chip-sets you *may* be able to clone
between two dissimilar models but, it is not too likely.

If you do succeed, you should SysPrep the platform w/SysPrep v2.0 and check the "already
activated" box.
