The DOS like function on Windows XP can be an interesting experience. There are about three ways to get into this DOS like mode. Press [F8] on bootup, use an XP boot CD, or the Command in Windows. It is interesting in that you can use both the DOS function and Windows at the same time and you can do most everything in both modes. In DOSlike you can for instance view or copy Data such as pictures to a floppy or CD. You can recover data to a CD even when you can't boot into Windows and with Skills and imagination you can probably repair any OS or software problems. In XP you need to select "Safe mode with Command prompt" and then most, but not necessarily all, DOS commands will work. One useful low tech solution to an OS problem is to type the following "%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe" (less the quotes) at the "Safe Mode with Command Prompt". This will lead you into the "Restore Folder" and from the calendar you can select a "Restore Point" that will hopefully correct your OS or Boot problem. Emile
