Cool! I'm glad you found it useful. Please do let me know if you run similar tests and if your results match up.

I'm glad you've found it useful! Let me know if you run any similar tests and confirm/deny my findings. Given that these results are run on older hardware, I'd be curious to find out what results others get on newer controllers.

Pull out the USB drive and reboot. :)

Microsoft does make something called WinPE which you can use for your task. Do some searching around, but this link give a pretty good summary of it:

Thanks for the update! That totally makes sense. :)

Good question. It's hard to say, but it sounds like the WinPE image didn't have the expected boot manager (bootmgr). This isn't something I've tried, so let me know if you figure out what was missing.

You might have to remove the USB drive so that it doesn't boot to it again when the installation reboots.

Sain, you've got a point. I wanted to post this one for a couple of reasons. One of them is that I helped in creating 'Get-WinEvent'. The other is that I get really annoyed when I can't find the answer to what I think are simple questions. I figure if I can't figure it out or find it on the web, someone ought to put it out there so it can be found with some creative Goog... I mean, Binging. :p

Thanks, DNA. I haven't tried this method myself but I've heard others have had success with this. I'll try it myself and see what kind of success I have. If it works, I'll update the main post with instructions.

Assuming that you mean the Windows 7 install, then, yes it an take a long time... I'm not an expert in it, but I've seen it take an hour on some systems and four on others. There are always 3 restarts (I think) and that shouldn't change. I highly doubt it restarted from the beginning (it can't) it probably just took a long time.
