Imaging a new Dell Latitude E6400

Below is my tiny little check list to Imaging a new Dell Latitude E6400 using GHOST.

Boot E6400
Enter BIOS Setep
-Go to System Configuration
--SATA Operation
---Switch from IRRT to ATA
Apply Settings and Exit

System restarts, hit F12 at boot menu
Boot to USB BartPE disc
Image the system with GHOST

When imaging completes, restart system
Enter BIOS Setep
-Go to System COnfiguration
--SATA OPeration
---Switch from ATA to IRRT
Apply Settings and Exit



Reboot and you should be done, my last step was to run the MS NewSID executable upon first boot up to rename the system and run a new random SID.

yes, this must be done for all machines that will run GHOST. The drivers for all disc modes, IRRT, AHCI must be installed to be able to switch back to the other modes. Otherwise it must stay in ATA mode.
