I was following the following page:


I was trying to create an image for windows server 2008 deployment services not knowing what this was going to do to the windows xp machine. Now, after restarting the computer I get the system preparation tool. Which option should I click on?

Factory, Audit, or Reseal.

None of them seem like a real good idea. There are also the following check boxes:

don't reset grace period for activation
use mini-setup
don't regenerate security identifiers
detect non-plug n play hardware

There is also a drop down box that has the following:

Shutdown
Reboot
Quit

I obviously didn't realize what I was getting myself into but I need to have this screen stop appearing on my computer. It also appears to be preventing changes on the machine as they revert back after the next restart. I was simply trying to get an image that I could use on window server 2008 to boot from to get windows xp home installed over a network.
