You can no longer restart in DOS mode with windows XP.  Microsoft is=0D
slowly squeezing DOS support out of all of their products.=0D
 =0D
You can download boot disk images from here:=0D
 =0D
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm=0D
 =0D
I suggest either win98SE boot disk.=0D
 =0D
You will probably have to copy the floppy disk images to your floppy=0D
disk (or bootable CD).=0D
Your windows XP hard drive is probably formatted in NTFS, which is=0D
incompatible with these older DOS boot disks.=0D
 =0D
Things used to be a lot easier before XP...=0D

Good luck,=0D
