How do I boot in DOS mode? I need to flash my BIOS and need to do it from
the DOS prompt. I have already made the Setup disks but they still do not
let me boot in DOS. Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings --

You don't.

There is no way to reboot a Win2K PC into Real Mode DOS unless
you've set up a dual-boot system. The WinNT family of 32-bit
graphical operating systems, of which Win2K is a member, has never
used or included MS-DOS. The closest they have is the Command Prompt
window.

Win2K, like its predecessor WinNT, is a pure 32-bit GUI OS, and
does not include or "ride upon" any version of DOS, as did Win3.x &
Win9x/Me. Win2K does include a command-line emulator for those times
when GUI applets are unnecessary/redundant, but it cannot be started
in "DOS mode."

To flash your BIOS, you'll need to obtain/create a DOS boot
diskette. Try www.bootdisk.com.
