Pendanticly, there is no DOS (Disk Operating System) in XP. There is
the command prompt "shell" that you evidently already discovered, but
you don't seem to want that for reasons I don't understand. I'm not
really sure what you want if you don't want that.

XP doesn't have DOS, it will run a DOS like environment in the Command Shell
Should you want to run DOS then get DOS on a floppy disk and boot up from that.

Short answer: You can't.
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."
