Tip 60: Get the command prompt during Win2k / WinXP GUI-mode Setup

Have you ever needed to troubleshoot, copy drivers, Start/Stop services, run an extra tool, etc...., during GUI-mode setup?

Now wouldn’t that be very useful?

Did you know you CAN?

To open a command prompt during GUI-mode Setup, press SHIFT+F10   

If, by the same token, you want to see what’s going on during installation of Windows Server 2003, press SHIFT+F11!!
