|  | Preparing a Reference Computer Preparing the Hard Disk
Sysprep.exe will display a message box warning before proceeding, unless you have used the -quiet switch. Click OK to proceed. After Sysprep.exe is finished, the reference computer shuts down and is ready to be imaged. If you were going to duplicate the hard disk physically, you would now remove the hard disk from the reference computer and use disk-duplicating equipment to reproduce it.
| Note: Sysprep.exe supports only Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, and Windows .NET Server family of products. The servers are supported only when they are configured as stand-alone servers.
