Hi everybody there! I'm a new user. I'd like to ask you one question, hope you can answer. I'm building a winxp master installation on a ACPI Multiprocessor PC and I'd like to add some lines to sysprep.inf in order to make my master installation the more compatible as possible. I was told to add the following: [sysprep] BuildMassStorageSection=Yes and so I did. Another thing I read is that you can also switch from a multiprocessor HAl to a UP HAL. I looked into the help file and I found two entries to be added: UpdateHAL and UpdateUPHAL Which one do I have to use? I think it's the latter, but I get confused about the syntax. The guide says: ************************** UpdateUPHAL Identifies the processor type and loads the appropriate kernel. Syntax: UpdateUPHAL = hwid,%WINDIR%\Inf\Hal.inf Value: hwid,%WINDIR%\Inf\Hal.inf (where hwid is either MPS_UP or ACPIAPIC_UP) Example: UpdateUPHAL = MPS_UP,%WINDIR%\Inf\Hal.inf Comments Valid only for Sysprep.inf. Required if the master installation is built on an APIC multiprocessor computer and the image of that master installation is on compatible APIC uniprocessor or multiprocessor destination computers. ************************** Can someone help me? Thanks in advace. Donato P.s.: sorry for my poor english, i'm italian

Thank u! You're very kind I'll try and tell you if it works fine

Thank u! So I just have to add [unattended] UpdateUPHAL = ACPIAPIC_UP,%windir%\inf\hal.inf before running sysprep.exe, is it correct? (I didn't know if I had to use MPS_UP or ACPIAPIC_UP). That's OK! Another thing: this image will work on an uniprocessor ACPI, but will it still work fine on a multiprocessor system?
