I noticed your earlier comment and question:

I can think of one situation that might prompt a question like this.

Are these systems built using /exactly/ the same hardware? Or are they just 
somewhat similar, like a group of same brand but different model number PC's 
with new (identical make/model) drives added ? Please explain why you would 
want to "reset all" hardware?

Along the same vein, after writing the Ghost image, are these systems booting 
normally or are they spitting out any errors?
