My new computer fails to boot with a chance of about 50% since I installed drivers and programs (the windows startup screen keeps just running and running and running...). Unfortunately I don't know which driver/program is responsible, so I used the /BOOTLOG options to get that information.
The problem is: When booting fails and I restart, I only have the log of the successful boot process in the log, because it is overwritten everytime.
Is there any option to not overwrite it? I really need to take a look at this log.

When this problems occurs, there is only one way, format C and reinstall Window :D

"F8" during the boot cycle should present a boot menu to you. IIRC, one option is to load drivers one at a time, letting you decide if you want to load them.

That might clue you in as to which driver is causing the issue.
