you should not be doing it this way, instead you should use virtual machines (hyperv or vmware) to create a master image on,

 

you can use MDT 2013 (recommened) or SCCM 2012 R2 to build and capture (create reference image) on these devices

 

some guides are below:-

• using System Center 2012 Configuration Manager - Part 12. Connecting Powershell and building a reference image of Windows 8 with .NET 3.5
• using System Center 2012 Configuration Manager - Part 13. Deploying Windows 8 X64 with custom Start screen
• Create a Windows 8.1 Reference Image using MDT

all the above should be enough,

 

if however you insist on using a real computer with already installed apps and drivers as your reference image, you'll most likely end up with issues that cannot be resolved later as the computer was manually setup,

 

you can capture the image using capture media, there are guides here for that, however I'll once again recommend you create a master reference image instead, so that you can fix any issues easily.

I would recommend looking at Toolkit from Engl.co.uk. Does amazingly easy job (with tiny modifications to the process you can get exactly what you want)
