Booting in MSDOS mode
- Thread starter biffer711
- Start date
The only way to boot into DOS with Windows ME, is to use a start-up disk.
To make a start-up disk, goto:
CONTROL PANELS|ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS|CLICK ON START-UP DISK TAB|INSERT A BLANK FLOPPY|CLICK CREATE DISK.
Then keep that disk in the drive and re-start the computer. You will get 4 options. Choose to option-4 (minimal boot), but if you need to run something off a CD in DOS, then you will need to start computer with CD-ROM support, can't remember what number that is. Either 1 or 2)
Hope this helps!
