Question : Virtual Machine to ghost image to Physical machine

Using a VMware server hosted on my HP server I created a few different virtual machines to use as images

I tried using a virtual to physical machine guide from VMware but it was based on win2k and did not work with XPsp2

My procedure:

Install XP in virtual machine, tweak as needed

Install updates and sp2

Tweak more

Tweak more

Tweak more

(Insert: Used sysprep here on several occasions and attempted different things I saw in different guides)

Shutdown

Shove old ghost ent 7 boot disk into server

boot VM and pull image

push image down to Dell gx150

boot

It doesn't even get to the WindowsXP screen, I can reboot it and it will say Windows didn't start correctly and ask if I want to try safe mode, but safe mode won't boot either.

Answer : Virtual Machine to ghost image to Physical machine

Did you incorporate the HAL`s for the physical machine within the virtual machine installation?
