HP Pro 3000 SFF Imaging Problems

[JasmineTF]

Our school district that has a bunch of Pro 3000 SFF computers. They came with one 160 GB hard drive containing Windows7 as the primary OS, 2 GB of unallocated space, and an eleven GB restoration partition.


The HP restoration DVDs that came with the system and for the system have the capability of rebuilding the system with Windows7, Vista, or Windows XP. We chose to rebuild with Windows XP pro, added all of our network stuff, and then imaged that machine with WimPE.


Now, however, even though the units successfully download the image, they will not boot. We get the menu screen offering to boot into safe mode, safe mode with networking, last known good configuration, or boot windows normally. No matter what choice is made, it just recycles to that point.


We've imaged many different models including HPs, and we've never had this kind of problem. Any ideas?

Connect a network analyzing application on the network and observe the traffic, port numbers, bytes, and particularly client who initiated the problems or interrupted the network. You can accory out the same in the simple manner by booting one of the PCs into Linux using an install disk, contravention out to the shell, and using netmon or iptraff.
