Abstract
Methods are provided for retargeting captured images to new hardware. An image taken from a computer having hardware drivers and other system information in one hardware configuration can be modified to adapt it for use on a computer having different hardware requiring different drivers, even when the second hardware configuration was not known at the time of imaging. Systems and configured storage media for retargeting captured images to new hardware are also provided.
