Default How to boot to DOS

On Fri, 14 May 2004 08:57:34 +0100, "Mart"

....... Is there a way to boot to DOS from the advanced
menu options?


No!! - This 'feature' is by design in WinMe.


You must boot using the WinMe Startup (floppy) Disk to boot into Real Mode
DOS.


See "Overview of Real Mode Removal from Windows Millennium Edition"
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;269524


See also http://cquirke.mvps.org/9x/me-dos.htm about various ways to
retro-fit this functionality ;-)
