No it is not possible. The image file will contain drivers and such for a specific hardware setup, and will not function on a PC with differing hardware.

Yes it is possible : just read this (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=34189) and all things linked in there.

It's not very easy (I'm still waiting for some explanation from Acronis Support) but it's not impossible ;)

Interesting read. Alot of hoop jumping, but if it saves your data, oh well.

Well, that link does not seem to have happy ending (yet...).

Just read on MS sysprep. Yes, it is possible and supported by MS, but a lot of things to learn about. For one time conversion, I would not invest my time. If you do it as a business, you have to grasp that concept well to be successful.
