restart xp in msdos mode

[ddoer195]

I just wanted to know how to restart or boot up xp in
msdos mode.

Windows XP does not have an option to boot into MS-DOS
because it is not based on the old MS-DOS platform.

Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter to get the
Command Prompt for the MS-DOS emulator.

Sorry, this is not possible. There is no MSDOS in Windows XP.

Greetings --

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."
