Imaging and Mass Storage Controllers

I have read a lot of info about imaging between different machines.

From what I understand the biggest problem I can run into is if the HD
controllers on the PC's are different. The question is what is considered
different. ie is it intel vs pci or is it more specific than that. Would I
have problems imaging a PC with an Intel(R) 82801EB Parallel Ultra ATA
Storage controller 24DB to any of the following ?

Intel(R) 82801BA Parallel Ultra ATA Storage controller 244B
Intel(R) 82801DB Parallel Ultra ATA Storage controller 24CB

From what I have read this should be fine but I will have problems imaging
to a Fujitsu with a VIA Bus Master IDE Controller

Is that correct ?

I am going to be using Sysprep -pnp

Thanks

I've don't think SysPrep -pnp helps much with storage controllers. I think
whether your question here would work would depend on whether they share the
same drivers and Windows can find a matching PNP ID.

If you want to be sure, add the following to your SysPrep.inf;

[Sysprep]
BuildMassStorageSection=Yes

[SysprepMassStorage]


(Leave two lines after [SysprepMassStorage]).

If you still get issues, then its possible your storage controllers aren't
shipped with windows, in which case you'd need to add an entry under
SysprepMassStorage yourself along the lines of the following example;

PCI\VEN_1103&DEV_0008=c:\sysprep\drivers\RAID\RocketSATA1640\Win_2003\hpt374.inf

And maybe even the following depending on whether your drivers are signed;

[Unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
