plz explain in simple word step by step the sysprep installation with exact sysprep switches and choices. whether i had to click reseal or factory

 

Hi, bhurtel

I failed to boot because of the differences in their Abstraction Layer.

Most all seem to fail to make it work with sysprep.

You should be asking that question of MS$ as it is their patch or an XP OS forum.

Have you tried do a repair install. >Repair Install<
