IBM T40 Ghost image on to T41 or T43?

Hi all,

I've got a few laptops to re-image, but the only image I have is a T40 one. The laptops are T41's and T43's

Does anyone know if this will work?

Thanks,

G

nope - the hardware configs from T40 to T41's and T43's are slightly different - they'll need individual images.

Should work fine even if they are different, you will just need to re-install the drivers for the different hardware. I use one standard image to ghost Samsung, Dell, Toshiba and HP laptops. The only modifications I make is change the SATA operation in the BIOS to legacy/ATA after imaging.

as above ! i use an X40 imabe for X41s

the wireless card is different and will need a new driver they also switched NICs between broadcom and Intel devices so you might need to add drivers for those also.
