Several ways to enter the DOS environment under XP

  
        For beginners, familiarizing yourself with the necessary DOS
commands is essential, but some friends don't know how to get into the DOS
environment, let alone learn. Below I choose a few common methods to tell everyone.

1. If the computer has problems but can still enter Windows, please click "Start → Programs → MS-DOS
", you can also click "Start → Run", in In the dialog that opens, type "command" (without the quotation marks, the same below). If your system is Windows XP/2000, enter "cmd" and you can also enter DOS
.

2. For Windows 98 system, you can also click "Start → Shut Down System", in the dialog box that appears, select "Restart the computer and switch to MS-DOS
environment", ie Go to DOS
.

3. After booting through the self-test, when the words “Starting Windows 98...” appear on the screen, immediately press the “F8” button, then select “Safe Mode Command Prompt Only” or “Command Prompt Only”. , you can enter safe mode DOS
or pure DOS
.

4. The system crashes, restart the computer, hold down the Ctrl key, select "Safe Mode Command Prompt Only" or "Command Prompt Only" in the screen message that appears, you can enter the safe mode DOS
or pure DOS
.

5. If you can not enter Windows, restart the computer, enter the CMOS, the first boot sequence (1st Boot Device) BiOS into the floppy drive (Floppy), insert system disk to save.
