I have a number of pc in my building and use ghost imaging to configure as new and sometimes if they are currupt and need the os re-installed.

I have an image file for one particular model pc, which has an nvidia graphix card. The problem is that I have the same model pc, but at some point the manufacturer changed the spec from nvidia to intel. Not sure how many of these pc's have a diffent graphix card, but I can't use this image file on this particular pc and I don't have an mage file for an Intel version.

I'd rather not start from scratch and re-install windows, as the image also contains all the necessary software requirements and configurations .

I was wondering if there is a way of removing the nvidia drivers from the pc via command prompt, like the recovery consol from the installation cd.
At the moment after re-imaging the pc with the image for the nvidia card, I get a blue screen before I can even un-sysprep the image onto the machine.

If I could remove the nvidia setting so the pc boots up and has default video card settings I could reinstall the correct intel ones later!

Any help on this would be great!

Try rebooting in safe mode and remove the drivers from there. Safe mode installs basic video drivers and should allow you access to the device manager.
