I'm trying to use this Linux box to clone CF Cards. The clones need to be
"exact" Windows XP Images. How the best way to go about doing this?

I tried DD but the cloned CF does not boot.

Maybe you could provide us with more information - these CF Cards are
bootable, I gather? And they contain Windows XP boot images?
How did you try to dd?

This might lead to VERY strange Problems with windows. Afair windows
generates some unique ids at every new install. Most tools for cloning
windows installations modify these so there are no two boxes with the
same values.

Be sure to google around for this topic or else you might get into
strange problems.

Those are SIDs. I use ghost and ghost walk, or change the computer name.
