A single Windows Image that works on all hardware platform?

I wonder is there a way to reset HAL and remove Driver in windows XP pro so
that we will be able to create a singole windows image that works on all
hardware platform. I know there is software call UIU will do the job, but I
just wonders we can do it manuelly so that I don't have to pay for the UIU
software licensing.

Thank you.

I think that is only possible with Vista's new WinImage format.

The short answer is yes. You don't need UIU but you do need sysprep and
imaging software look at this
