I want to upgrade my windows 2003 server.

I am going from an athlon/via chipset to an athlon-XP/Via chipset.

I was told to do the following...
1. Ghost the current image (safety backup)
2. Load all device drivers for the new board
3. Move disk to new hardware - it should come up and work.

Sumantec's web site suggests running sysprep to get the system to rebuild its driver database.

Q1: How do I do this?
Q2: Should I do this?
Q3: What other tips can anyone offer?
