Having trouble getting a cloned machine to boot. It boots itself in a continuous cycle of Windows Error Recovery. You can choose Safe Mode (Safe Mode w/ Networking, etc.) or Start Windows Normally. After the countdown of "Start Windows Normally", it will display the "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" log on screen. When you attempt to log in, the machine will boot and display the Shutdown Event Tracker. Once you enter a "comment" in the field & click OK, it will continuously reboot itself.
Here's what I have attempted to do:
1) I cloned the machine the first time not using the customization wizard. Once the machine was finished and powered on, it would start in the continuous boot cycle. I deleted that machine.
2) I cloned the machine again this time using the customization wizard, choosing the option for the machine to be part of the "Workgroup" not the domain. Once the machine was finished and powered on, it would start in the continuous boot cycle. I deleted that machine.
3) I cloned the machine again this time using the customization wizard, choosing the option for the machine to be part of the "Domain". Once the machine was finished and powered on, it would start in the continuous boot cycle. I deleted that machine.
With each cloning attempt, I ensured the NIC was powered off (to make sure it wouldn't interfere with the original machine in any way).
Not sure what I'm doing wrong or what setting I need to make this work. Any suggestions are welcome!
