Glitch in Image?

[thomas]

I have a server running WDS (Server 2003 SP2) where AD, DHCP, and DNS all reside. And for the most part all works well. Imported WIM's work great from VISTA DVD (as they should). I have customized a machine as my baseline with my applications and want to deploy it to all machines in my small work environment. I captured the sysprep'ed image and uploaded to the WDS. When I deploy it everything looks and works fine...until the Windows Wizard starts. I go through the wizard and when i get to the end I hit Finish or Start (i think its start) and the computer sits for a second then reboots and starts the wizard all over again.

 

don't know if anyone has seen this or come across it but its the one thing holding me down. Appreciate any suggestions. I have tried numerous new builds and have even attempted it without any apps. just a straight vista load > sysprep'ed and still get same results.

i think your image is bluescreening, hence the apparent loop

 

can you disable the automatic reboot when it bluescreens to see what the message is ?
