Hi all...
I have a sysprepped Vista SP1 image that I install on the PCs here.
I am able to install this image into a Parallels' VM. After I restart after copying the image into the VM, the startup follows the normal routine:
1) Black screen about windows starting up... (restart)
2) Blue-Green screen with the spinning circle (restart)
But after the *third* reboot -- where sysprepped Vista normally goes through calculating the experience index, etc. -- this appears to get bypassed and it goes right to the login screen.
Which is fine.
But it's different behavior from what a normal Windows box does.
Is there any reason for this? Or -- more to the point -- what exactly is Parallels doing to make this bypass the regular startup routines?
(This is with build 5600...)
