The shortcut to open Command Prompt (cmd.exe) during Windows install #
is Shift+F10. Handy for erasing an HFS+ GPT drive when the Windows install routine chokes with "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk of the GPT partition style." among other things. (Speaking of which, if you receive "This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu." following such a procedure, simply reboot to resolve.)
