Hi guys,
We've got to rebuild a group of laptops, the setup requires 3 instances of Windows 7, each with a different version of office (2003, 2007, 2010) We've built one of the laptops and are now wanting to ghost it to all the other machines. The machines are all identical hardware wise.
We have tried O&O Disk Image which failed to even make the backup of the 4 partitions (100mb recovery partition then 3 roughly 30gb OS partitions)
We have tried Acronis TrueImage which made the backup successfully and appeared to finish restoring the image to another machine, but when turned on the machine blue screened instantly on all 3 operating systems.
Are there any other options we could use? Something we're considering is installing a root Windows 7 OS on the laptops, then setting it up to boot from one of 3 VHD files containing the setups we want.
