Uhh, while you're booting, hit one of the keys (different from computer to computer) [usually F2, F10, DEL, or sometimes spacebar] to get into the "SafeMode" screen. You'll have an option to boot into DOS, Safemode without Internet, etc.

Please don't post if you don't know what you're talking about, and it's generally a bad idea to flame members.

Quik those look like keys to enter BIOS. I think it's F8

Sometimes, they take you into BIOS, sometimes they take you into the SafeMode screen, it really depends on the computer.

For me, f1 = dos f7=boot screen

@Quik: Huzzah, I can now use my GWBasic book!

@Mangix: Well, I don't read the whole thread. And i'm sorry, but if you say that Windows has no DOS, i'm obviously going to tell you C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe because you apparently can't be clear, or are just stupid in your posts.

cmd.exe is not DOS.  DOS is an operating system, and so is Windows.  cmd.exe is a command interpreter that uses the same style of commands as DOS did.

Known as "Command Prompt".

in Windows 2000 and below, the command prompt is known as MS-DOS. so he got confused :P. anyways ima see what i can do tomorrow :D.

XP = cmd.exe
95/98 = command.com

I'm not sure about the rest, I don't want to make false statements. But there is a difference. You can't wine command.com :P

[deadly7]

The icons say "MSDOS.exe"

@mangix: sorry about the flaming, i hate it when stupid tables don't work the way i want em to.

erm, pre-post edit: nvm, It's the actual DOS operating system that says that.
