I was just installing W98se on a machine....it wouldnt do the first reboot...until I did an fdisk/mbr.

Anyway, when it did finally reboot it started detecting the hardware.

So A lil shortcut came to me.

What if I had just made a ghost of the install at that point..before the reboot in other words.

Could I then simply ghost that to other machines and save that much trouble....ghost it and then simply boot right there and let it install the hardware??

Whaddya think?

I have done the deal where you ghost the full install to another machine and delete the hkey local machine/enum key....but would this other method also work??

Thanks, JP
