Help for Sysprep

[myriamh]

Hi,
1) do someone know where I could find a good "step by step" instruction list to use easily sysprep. I would like to use it to make backup of my system.
2) I'll install a new motherboard , and I would like to avoid a new reinstall of Windows 2000 and all the software. I read on this forum that we can use Sysprep.
Microsoft tell master and target computers must have identical HALs, Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support. I know that my new motherboard has ACPI support, but not the current one. So do you think sysprep can work despite this ?

thanks for your help
