When you boot up...hit F5 or F8..forgot which one..i havent done it in a while. There should be a selection that allows you to choose dos mode alone.

Grab an old 98 Disk and boot to that, but u won't be able to see NTFS drives in dos.

If you have ANYTHING after ME, you can't.

There is no pure dos mode in windowsXP or 2k anymore; there is no 16bit core left.

Get DosBOX or VirtualPC.
