It has to be searching for installs of Windows (at least I have always assumed it is)....because after that finishes it shows you all your installations of Windows and where they are located and asks if you want to repair/install etc
You can have multiple copies of Windows on the same drive, the problem I had the one time I tried it was that the Program Files folder was being used by both installs.....not very good when both versions of Windows are different........

I thought it was searching to find all installations of the OS.
