    ghosted image, no boot, help

    hello gang..
    I ghosted an image of windows xp sp 2 on 10 hard drives, the 10 PCs are exactly the same, but in the rush, i forgot to sysprep the original image, now when i booted one of the ghosted drives, it takes me to the login prompt, i login to the network and logs off right away...
    i run ghost walker and change the PC name, but did not work when i booted the PC, it did exactly the same thins.
    so, trying to save the time and sysprep the original image and ghost all 10 drives again, is there another method i can use to fix that problem?

    please advise and thanks in advanced.

    don't log onto the network. remove any network connections (cables) and log onto the local machine. copy the sysprep files off the XP CD. sysprep it.

    oh..my bad. I thought you meant you couldn't logon to the domain.

    OK here's a thought. may be completely wrong...but is something to research. try to use bartpe or something to put the sysprep files in the root of the c drive and see if maybe you can run sysprep from the recovery console at the command line or even from the bartpe disc.
