As for settings there aren't many.
Choose disk to disk, choose the source, choose the destination,
Click ok. Wait.

When I'm finished I Ghostwalk the machine, change its name and SID.

I've used this method hundreds of times and it's worked flawlessly until
recently.

On the chance you meant "Ghost" and not "ghost", I'd say you probably
didn't use the Advanced settings for the disk cloning operation, and can't
even guess at anything else since you gave no name or version, etc., of
anything you're using.

Hi Don

Set up computer A with our standard suite of software and complete all
windows
updates. When finished I ghost it to computer B. Once finished
computer B loads up to
the xp splash screen for about 2 seconds, computer reboots over and
over
again.

I've had this problem several times before, for us it turned out to be
a small difference in the hardware on the motherboard. If you re-
ghost pc A then re-deploy it to pc A, I bet all is OK. If you re-
ghost pc B then re-deploy it to pc B, I bet all will be OK. Just a
thought if you image pc B to pc A do you get the reboot problem again.
If you want to setup a dedicated server for ghosting take a look at
