M Morgan Lock Jul 2, 2003 #4 Create an MS-DOS boot disk using XP's disk format (right click Floppy drive in your explorer). Boot with that disk and you will have a primitive DOS prompt, though I don't believe you will have the full suite of DOS utilities. If thats not what you want, then the prior threads are right, your hosed with most versions of Windows.
