How to capture a Windows XP image:
1.First you have to make a Capture Media.
2.Remove PC from the domain
3.Create a folder called sysprep in boot partition
4. Extract and copy the files from deploy.cab from OS media to sysprep folder
5. Put the capture media into CD/DVD drive. Wait until Image Capture Wizard starts and click Next
6. Enter the destination and file name where you want your image to be created. You can create directly on a network share but then you have to provide login details for it.
7. Enter Image information
8. Click Finish on the Summary screen
9. Image capturing should start now.
10. At first Capture wizard will prepare the OS for imaging. After that PC will reboot and it will copy the image to the provided location. When copying is finished it will display a dialog screen saying that image capture was successful. Press OK and wait until PC reboots. Because the PC was syspreped you will have to provide all the information(name, serial key,regional settings etc.) as the PC was just installed. After setup is finished you should login and locate your image file.
