| Use a bootable CD with DOS on it. There is no real "DOS" mode with Windows XP. It doesn't exist. |

What do you need to do that for? If it's just to get an old DOS program working, you could try DOSBox. Otherwise we'd need to know what you need to do in DOS, 'cause chances are there's another way to it  |

| Windows NT (2000/XP too) doesn't have MS-DOS. It's an entirely protected mode operating system built from scratch. There's a recovery console with is not DOS, but looks like it. It's still Windows NT but without the GUI loaded. You can't run any DOS programs though because you can't start the MS-DOS subsystem without Win32 running. If you want to run something that you can't from the NT MS-DOS subsystem: 1. Use DOSBox 2. Use a PC emulator and install DOS in it (go get FreeDOS if you don't have MS-DOS or some other DOS). 3. Install it on a partition of its own (again, get FreeDOS if you don't have MS-DOS, PC DOS, DR DOS, etc). Use Knoppix to resize your partition if you need to (K Menu, System, QTParted) |

| If you have a FAT32 partition and a Windows 98/98SE boot disk or any other DOS disk, you can use that to boot to DOS. Otherwise, if you have an NTFS partition, you might want to ckeck out http://newdos.yginfo.net/msdos71/index.htm and download the Super MS-DOS 7.10 Boot Disk which supports NTFS and USB. Hope this helped!  |

| doing the following is the closest you will get: 1) Turn on the computer 2) press F8 repeatedly until you get a menu listing options of safe mode, etc. 3) Safe Mode with Command Prompt |

...actually that starts windows like usual. Just instead of explorer.exe popping up. It's the Command Prompt. Which is exactly the same as the one in Windows. That thing is useful thought for problems related to explorer.exe or for cleaning out viruses that starts together with explorer.exe. Originally posted by TaraleOr like SystemrescueCD, which I actually prefer using over Knoppix anyday. Sure there is no GUI unlike Knoppix, but it's alot faster than Knoppix... |

| the other option is to use the WinXP installation CD, start WinXP setup, and run the recovery console instead of the normal setup. However, that doesn't give you a lot of freedom to do things. |
