Can you restart your computer in MS-DOS mode? Or even better can you in a sense "downgrade" your computer to 98 from XP without wiping your whole hard drive? I would love to know considering I would have a LOT to loose!!! Grrr!!

I have followed the notes posted by Lanwench for more
than two years, and found them invariably helpful and
well-informed. This one is no exception. Let's keep it
nice and peaceful, shall we?
There is no way to reboot a WinXP PC into Real Mode DOS unless
you've set up a dual-boot system.
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.
If you performed an upgrade from Win98/Me, elected to backup the
old system files, and didn't convert the partition to NTFS, then all
you need do is boot into Safe Mode and Start > Control Panel >
Add/Remove Programs. All of these conditions _must_ be met for the
uninstall option to be available.

Hi!
So, how would you suggest I phrase it to keep it both simple for
the prospective posters, and technically accurate enough to satisfy
you? ;-}

Hi!
I'll place your suggestions under consideration. And I'll avoid
any mention of WinMe, particularly since I don't recall ever having
seen a computer running it.
