This idea of the preinstalled OS, in my humble opinion, SUCKS! (no

Yes it sucks indeed.
Try restoring a preinstall configuration which needed no boottime
drivers (because it was on a standard IDE controller/channel) to a
SerialATA disk. Prerequirement is keeping the old IDE disk intact.
Simply said, there's no way of adding the boottime driver to the
restored configuration on a SerialATA disk.
That might require the recovery console, which was not installed on
harddisk ("winnt32 /cmdcons") or available by any other means
(no installation cdrom, just a restore cdrom).
And it's difficult to use the partial set of installation files to make
a BartPE/PEbuilder cdrom.
Basically, I need to buy another 80GB IDE disk, restore the image on it,
boot it, then add SerialATA driver, then do a complete diskcopy to the
SerialATA disk.
That's horrible..
