Question : Problem: I have a mup.sys ghosting error

I have a batch of new Compaq nx7300's which I am trying to ghost.  It shipped with Vista but I retrofitted them with XP due to software incompatibilties.   The master machine has been built and is working perfectly, however when I ghost it....the newly ghosted machine continually reboots at mup.sys.

Any ideas?

What version of Ghost are you using?  Only Ghost 12 is certified to work with Vista.  Vista partitions have a different offset now.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923332
"...The file system, the volume manager, and other parts of the storage stack in Windows Vista have been updated to accommodate hard disk drives that have a large sector size. In earlier versions of Windows, the default starting offset for the first partition on a hard disk drive was sector 0x3F. Because this starting offset was an odd number, it could cause performance issues on large-sector drives because of misalignment between the partition and the physical sectors. In Windows Vista, the default starting offset will generally be sector 0x800..."

In cases where someone has used an older version of Ghost with Vista, often you often to repair the Vista boot files:
Logon as Administrator and from a command prompt invoke the following changes:
BCDEDIT /set {bootmgr} device boot
BCDEDIT /set {default} device boot
BCDEDIT /set {default} osdevice boot
