you mean "install" the ghost image from the pre-built to your computer?

usually those OS's are OEM & supposed to be "assigned" to those specific computers...

also if there's significant hardware differences between original PC & yours, may require a complete reinstall of OS, if not a Repair Install at least.

Think about it...the Ghost image can be thought of as a copy of Windows and you're not supposed to share that.

Besides, what Shyguy said about compatibility issues.
