Accessing MSDOS

Windows XP is not based on MS-DOS, therefore you cannot access or boot into it.

Use the MS-DOS emulator: Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
 
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.
