Hi Andy,
Thanks for the prompt reply! I would definitely try out sysprep in future. I was simply presented with a black screen and was told that Windows could not startup.
Meanwhile, I have set the BIOs configuration from RAID with AHCI to RAID with ATA and it seemed to do the job. The only problem I am encountering right now would be that the system seemed to lack drivers since the image wasn't from an identical PC with similar hardware. (e.g. Unproportional screen resolution even when set to the highest). Everything seemed to be fine after manually installing drivers. The whole idea of restoring images to the workstation with GSS aims to reduce retardancy in deployment. By having to manually update each workstation after deployment is indeed a tedious process. I was looking forward to a "ready-to-go" solution whereby workstations are ready to be used upon image restoration without manually installing drivers. Do you think a sysprep image might actually remedy this situation?
