During the booting sequence, keep tapping F8 till you get a boot menu. Then you can choose DOS mode there.

From the title, it sounds like you are in DOS and want to boot Windows? At the c Prompt type "win"... it should load windows

Rebote the PC and tap the F8 key. It choose Command Prompt. If F8 doesn't get you to this menu tap F5 instead.

Or you can make a start-up disk and boot up from that.

Note that when you boot up in DOS by pressing F8 during the Windows boot up, that you'll never truely boot up in DOS but always in a DOS-session under Windows!!!

If you realy want to boot up in true DOS, you'll need to make your own startup menu and most importantly have a DOS bootrecord, not a Windows bootrecord.

Ummm isn't that Windows 2000/XP and up? Because if you goto Command Prompt it is loading to DOS I was under the impression of that.

He is running dos and he wants to start windows :dodgy:

If it doesnt start automaticily like it should, you could reinstall, or just type WIN every time you get to the dos prompt.
