How DOS-like is the CMD prompt in WinXP
Will it allow replacement of windows-critical files?
That is, in the past when I wanted to update a file that couldn't be
updated while XP was running, I booted to win98SE on the same box, and
did it there.
Or when I had ONLY win98, I could boot to native DOS and do it there.
Because of getting a new computer, I don't think win98 will run
anymore, so can I use the CMD-wimdow/prompt? Or am I still in
windows then, to such an extent that a Windows file that can't be
modified while windows is running, still can't be modified?
What do people do?
I think the new computer will have a floppy drive. Do I boot to dos 7
(or some version that understands long file names) from the floppy?
Thanks a lot.
