What are you using to clone the drives? If I remember correctly there
is a switch for ghost to force it to retain the drive remapping when
cloning the disk.

No unfortunately not, we have tried that and it'll bomb out with an
error. I don't have the exact error message handy, I apologize.
Thank

can you not just try to run the remap drives utility, to change the
mappings again. this could be do-able by adding
[GuiRunOnce]
;use this line to run a command when the mini install wizard runs
Command0 = "path to drive remap utiltiy"
again I have not checked this, it is only a suposition.
