Rebuilding Win98 Hardware

[Ted1]

I seem to remember a way to force windows to recognize and reinstall all of it's
hardware. The situation is this. I am ghosting a new machine, and the image
file I had for that particular machine is corrupt. I have an image for a
different machine that has all the software I want. All I need to do is force
windows to reinstall all of the hardware. I'm pretty sure this is possible as I
read a tip on how to rectify this exact situation a couple months ago.
Unfortunately I cannot remember where.

you can remove things in device manager and then reboot.

Delete the ENUM key under HK_Local_Machine in the Registry to remove all devices, then reboot.
