Answer 2

the finest way is to make a DOS boot-up floppy disk. Insert a floppy disk. proper click and format. elect the DOS boot-disk verify field and format the floppy. then even as restarting enter into the BIOS and regulate the boot gadget priority to A: you'd be in DOS the subsequent time you restart your workstation. get rid of the floppy and restart to flow to XP again

Answer 3

Restart the machine. Hold the CTRL key during the boot process or tap the F8 key after the first system beep. You should get a selection screen for DOS etc.

Answer 4

Ha! Well, I sorry as I not there. But, from where I sit, I would just hold the start button on front in until it turn off and re-boot. Let it do a Scan-Disk if it want.
