On that boot the installer now running off the HDD began looping at the "Install base system" step, no errors or other signs of trouble - just display the progress bar for a few mins, then flick out to the step-by-step listing as if that step was done - but highlighting the same "Install base system" entry every time enter was pressed to start the step.Ummm... Question: you say "up to the reboot following partition and formatting of the machines drives". debian-installer doesn't reboot there. How did you prepare your USB stick, please?It was a vanilla download of the 64-bit netinst ISO burned to the USB stick.OK. How did you write it, please? dd? cp? Something like unetbootin?
I believe that one was done with the "rufus" tool for Windows.
Formatting was the latest step I'm sure worked fine. The default process was followed from there until reboot needed, then more default process. Everything up to the step "install base system" at least appeared to work - until that one did not.There isn't a reboot step in the normal path of debian-installer. Oh, hang on, sorry - I've just seen what I missed earlier in your initial message: "On running the installer manually from inside the OEM Windows". Did you use the win32-installer option to start installation?
I think so, yes. AYJ
