Please tell me how to start my computer in MS-DOS mode. I
am running Windows XP, and if I hit F8 during startup, it
doesn't give the option to run in MS-DOS mode (like Win
98 did).
I did try creating a startup floppy disk, and booting
from the A: drive. This solution worked on one computer -
I was able to change to C: drive and run the program I
needed. However, on another computer, I was not able to
change drives. Instead I got the error message "Invalid
Drive Specification".
Ultimately, what I am trying to accomplish is to re-
install Windows 98 (overwrite Windows XP), which is in a
C:\CABS directory. It won't let me run the setup program
in a 'Command.com' window within Windows XP. It tells me
to restart my computer in MS-DOS mode.
Please give me any help possible....
Thanks,
John
