BTW, I've heard Vista will not have the HAL limitation as it is a file-based image; so each time you image the PC it will be like a new install of Vista. Sorta. Also go to this article on TechNet by Shelly Bird, and click the link for Figure 1. It is a chart of compatible HAL types. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2006/05/TechniquesForSimp/default.aspx I have only two HAL types in the computers in my office, APIC UP and APIC MP. Most modern PCs are ACPI-compliant, then it's just a question of uni or multi. It is best to go from mutli to uni, with this command in the sysprep.inf file: UpdateUPHAL=ACPIAPIC_UP,%WINDIR%\Inf\Hal.inf Good luck! -Rob Joel,
