a, Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for the primary installation and destination computers Must be compatible. For example: HAL APIC and HAL MP (multiprocessor systems) are compatible, and HAL PIC (Programmable Interrupt Controller) is not compatible with HAL APIC or HAL MP.

b. The large storage device controller (IDE or SCSI) between the reference computer and the destination computer must be the same. Plug-and-play devices such as modems, sound cards, network cards, and video cards do not have to be the same. However, device drivers that are not available in Drivers.cab should be placed in the main installation before running Sysprep. Or let the un-installed driver be valid when the destination computer is first run, so that the plug-and-play can be detected and the driver installation program is completed.

c. The hard disk space of the destination computer must be at least the same size as the main hard disk installed. If the destination computer's hard drive is large, this difference will not be included in the primary disk partition. But if it uses the NTFS file system format, you can extend the main disk partition using the ExtendOemPartition project in the Sysprep.inf file.

d, [If the BIOS version of the reference computer and the destination computer are different, you should first test the handler to determine if it is successful. When using Sysprep to run a disk duplication, Sysprep modifies the [Security ID (SID)] of the local computer to make it a unique ID for each computer.
