Re: How to Print Screen during reformat process?

the way i do it (screenshots of linux installs) is to use a Virtual Machine like virtual pc

basically virtual pc is a fake pc that runs on your real pc as software. It has fake hard disks etc... (big files)

you need 1gb+ ram do do it properley

Re: How to Print Screen during reformat process?

basically there is no way to do this on the physical machione, as there would be no drivers or printer on the pc, the only other way is, as Jbennett suggest, use a VM machine, like VMware or microsoft virtual pc or you can use snagit ro captuer the screen on the vm machine, or as the last resort, use a video camera to capture the process on the pc.

Re: How to Print Screen during reformat process?

Yes, the only way to take a screenshot on the same machine is to have a clipboard available, obviously, there is no such way of doing this from the same machine while you're in the reformat process since an OS is not installed yet. I would also suggest using a virtual machine, it just maybe your best bet.
