For Windows 7 imaging :
Ghost by default does not save the System Reserved Partition which is created during Windows 7 operating System installation. An image of
this partition has to be created separately. During the system restore, the System Reserved Partition has to be restored before restoring the OS partition.
BEST PRACTICE: Take a disk image (default create image
task settings) of a Windows 7 machine.
You can perorm Sysprep in the usual way.
