Can I run USB installer from inside CMD ?
I have a Samsung RV-511-S01UK
i3 380M @2.53Ghz
6GB RAM
Nvidia discrete 1GB dedicated
It came pre-installed with Win 7 x64 and currently runs 8.1 with no issue.
I tried out the Win 10 TP in a VM and liked what I was seeing... so figured I'd use a spare SSD and clean install the Win 10 TP and see how it runs using my real hardware instead of the emulated hardware in a VM.
Problem: It will not go past the initial logo screen at boot initiation, regardless of whether I use DVD or USB installer and regardless of build number.... just stops completely at this point which suggests the process is locked out by the BIOS... but in order to discover exactly where it's failing I need to observe the process in action.
I'd like to try to initiate the install from within a CMD window to see exactly which instruction is failing to try to figure out why the install stops at this point.... but I've never learnt the language of CMD and I have no idea if it's even achievable in real-time or if I could only do so by way of a saved log-file.... so I need help please.
Questions :
1. I'm guessing I would need an already installed OS to open a CMD window....?... that a CMD window is part of an OS and not built into the BIOS...?
2. So can I accomplish a real-time log process of an attempt to install Win 10 TP as a dual system alongside my Win 8.1 and have it do so while the CMD window remains open...? or is that not possible...?
3. If that is not possible can I create a saved logfile of the attempt to install to dual boot on the seperate partition and retrieve the log from Win 8.1 after failure...?
4. How do I trace the log file if one is created...?
I figure it must be possible to debug this install fail by way of logging the process.... so any help to achieve this would be appreciated so that a real answer can hopefully be discovered. Not getting any assistance at all from the 'insider program' over at M$... can't find any human response from their forum
cheers
