I have a number of different XP images and need more (greedy I know).
However, I am now running out of space on the server so have had to delete
images that haven't been used for a while, but I know will be used again.
Is there a way of saving images to an external hard drive so I don't have to
keep starting from scratch?
We are using Server 2003.
All clients are XP

Copy/move them?

Really - that is the simplistic answer given what little you have. I don't
know why you cannot just copy them to external media of your choice in case
you need them later. CD, DVD, USB hard disk drive, NAS, etc...

Perhaps you left something (some critical detail) out of your query?

Harry,

The answer is in the answer file(s).

I have one XP image and use many, many answer files. The answer file
points to the proper drive locations and runs the appropriate software
setups, many of them customized, at first login. Anything else is handled
by Group Policies on the given network.

My problem is recreating all this work in 2008. ;-)
