From: "Tom Achtenberg" It can be easily done using utilities like Norton's Ghost etc. You cannot just do a copy but need to use a utility like Ghost. From: "der.hans" > Situation: Four identical computers assembled from identical components. > Goal: Install Windows 2000 with NTFS and all the same apps on all the computers. > Plan: Install everything on one computer then duplicate that drive to the other three drives that way configuration and installation only has to happen once. Last I knew you couldn't just copy m$ boxen like this. They setup some super-secret serial number and no one else is allowed to have the same one. Ghost copies the drives, then changes the super-secret number thingy. ................................ M$ has a utility called "sysprep" that can be used to set up an image, and allow it to be used on multiple machines, avoiding the problems with computer SIDs, etc. I think it comes with the W2K resource kit, may be available on their site also, as a standalone util. ............................Scott
