any 'problems' in cloning one system to another?

the scenario is:
friend is having a hard time reinstalling XP, for whatever reason it's
not going as expected, not being nearby I can't assist - but thought
of a kinda "fix"...
IF I were to perform a Fresh XP Install on My system... installing XP
and getting it up to date and completed, working fine, nothing else.
Desktop established, shortcuts etc etc no extra sofware, then took a
Ghost or Acronis backup - sent it on to them.. and they do a ghost or
acronis reload - whats the potential "problems" if any?
I'd of course delete my 'net login, ~ they'd need to set there one up,
plus outlook express.
Am I right in assuming due to it installing on My system and My
configuration(hardware), when it was first booted up on There system -
it'd auto detect THEIR hardware (modem/screen etc ) and it'd be a case
of~ "windows has detected new hardware and is installing
drivers....."
and all would be Ok - they could even go into the "System"-"Device
Manager" and remove any reference to hardware on My system, and apart
from that it'd be as though they'd had a succesfull install on their
own system ~ just me having done it here and sending to them.?
Not considering any "legal" issues! they DO have a legal XP disk -
just having lack of "how to install" knowledge!
Am I overlooking anything?
thanks.
