There is no DOS in Windows XP, and you can not do this.
Your only choice is to boot from a DOS diskette. However, if your
drive is NTFS, you won't be able to see it (at least not without
special software). Why do you think you need to do this?

How can WinXP not be a DOS OS? The system has to boot frm the hardIn

disk correct? If that is the case then it has to be a Disk Operating
System. It obviously cannot work without booting from the hard disk.
Now why has Microsoft so inconveniently gotten this NASTY ****ING
SYSTEM out to millions of users that have as much chance in hell of
fixing anything in it as a one legged man winning an ass kicking
contest.
Yes, WinXP <when it is working> is a great OS but get a bug in it and
you may as well go out and just buy a new friggin computer.
I spent 5 days trying to replace ONE file that kept me from booting to
WinXP and finally just installed a HD that has a working XP os on it.
I have no way of getting at all my files on the other disk because it
will NOT OPEN!!!!!!!

what is dos?

You have your facts mixed up.
DOS, or more accurately MS-DOS, is an older OS that was used as a) a primary
OS in the "old" days (10 years ago) and b) was used as a subsystem in some
older Win9x systems (notably Win3.x). This has nothing to do with WinXP,
which is based on the NT kernel and is completely unrelated to anything from
MS-DOS.
If you choose to use the term DOS as "disk operating system", then it can be
applied to any OS, be it Windows, Linux, OS/2, or BEos, as that is what they
essentially all are. But, you need to make that distinction - DOS does not
mean MS-DOS.

Go to Start menu, open RUN menu and type cmd and enter.
You can do some dos stuff and editing here in a dos like
window. Microsoft claims XP does not have dos but it
really still exists but is hidden mostly from view. Many
Dos programs will still run in Windows XP.

There is no way to reboot a WinXP 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 WinXP is the latest generation,
has never used or included MS-DOS. The closest they have is the
Command Prompt window.
WinXP, like its predecessors WinNT & Win2K, is a pure 32-bit GUI
OS, and does not include or "ride upon" any version of DOS, as did
Win3.x & Win9x/Me. WinXP does include a command-line emulator for
those times when GUI applets are unnecessary/redundant, but it cannot
be started in "DOS mode."

DOS was the original Microsoft Operating System for computer. It used a
Command Lne Interface ( CLI ). Then, MS came out with Windows 3.x which
was a Graphical User Interface ( GUI ) that ran over DOS. Next came Win
9.x, It was a GUI OS with a DOS susbsystem. Now we have XP, Which like NT
and 2000 have an NT kernal rather then a DOS kernal. You can use the DOS
Emulator built-in to XP if you still need to work from the CLI.
