Ther's no more DOS in XP and command prompt is basically emulated. You can use recovery console to recover some stuff or get a copy of dos on the web but make sure that version supports ntfs (if your file system is fat32 any version will do). If you can clarify exactly what you're trying to do, we'll try to help you out. :)

Total Posts: 542 | to all: you can have windows XP in DOS. you must first restart your computer, and hit the function key. it will then prompt you to to which mode you would like: windows or DOS. That simple.
by saying windows no longer has DOS is like saying the new version of ti84 will have no basic programing systems. its illogical.

DOSEmu
RamSoft Emulator
DOSBox
One of those should work. |

Total Posts: 2007 | @LiK: No, when you bypass the OS from the BIOS, you go into the BIOS. Duh. MS-DOS stands for MicroSoft Disk Operating System, and was the precursor to windows, not necessarily the foundation for it. In the old days, you had to load windows from DOS, but not any more, thank you very much. |
