Question: I'm a computer technician and I have to reinstall computers of all brands a lot.
Now i'm looking for a way to make a ghost image for example for XP which I can install on all computers. Just like you do a clean install?

Can someone think of something what works?

Answer: 
Sadly, XP doesn't do that. Windows 7 is intended to work that way (one image, regardless of hardware), but with XP you need a separate image for each make/model.

The closest you can get is to set up an unattended installation that you can fire & forget. It'll still take longer than just copying over an image, but at least you won't have to interact & answer the prompts.
[Clonezilla](http://clonezilla.org/) works for me and I bet it will work for you.

From [wikipedia's page](https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Clonezilla):

> 
> 'Clonezilla Live' enables a user to clone a single computer's storage media, or a single partition on the media, to a separate medium device. The cloned data can be saved as an image-file or as a duplicated copy of the data. The data can be saved to locally attached storage device, a SSH server, Samba Server or a NFS file-share. The clone file can then be used to restore the original when needed.

Try for yourself and good luck!
