If your Ghosted image fails to boot or has "yellow exclamation marks" in Device Manager, follow these steps to stabilize the system: :
Deploying a "Ghost" image of Windows 98 often results in driver conflicts and boot issues when moving between different hardware configurations. Resolving these "Ghost" related errors requires specific patches for modern hardware and a systematic approach to driver cleanup. Resolving Boot and Driver Errors after Ghosting
