I need help about cloning

kidlat020 · February 9, 2016

This will take long but please bear with me.

I need to clone this windowsxp.ui (filename) image disk (mountable to this pc) that I use in my diskless networking where the client PCs have no disk and they all rely on said image file. reasons... let's just say someone wants to buy one of my unit and he'll add a hard drive for it himself, but he wants the entirety of my windowsXP image copied in it, bootable and all that.

currently I already did

win7_installer\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 /h:

my computer -> tools -> folder options -> view -> show hidden files, unhide the 3 boxes below it

copy entire drive to clone drive

I'm just waiting the copy to complete and test if it work. if there's a better way to do it then please help. copying this again and again sucks.

^ it has to be winXP. this hardware I'm selling is way back ddr2. oh and don't worry, at least my workstations will always revert back once restarted (kind of deepfreeze, but better). this is a default thing on diskless. it performs way less when I use win7 let alone x64.

win7_installer\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 /h:

my computer -> tools -> folder options -> view -> show hidden files, unhide the 3 boxes below it

copy entire drive to clone drive

this attempt failed.
