Run Command Prompt While Installing Windows XP

I found out that it is possible to access a command prompt while running the Windows XP installation, when it is in the GUI phase after copying all files from the disc (see image below).

Simple hit Shift-F10 and the command prompt will pop up. Any normal commands can be executed at this point. For example, you could run notepad.exe to open notepad, or “sysdm.cpl” to open the System Properties control panel.
