How to boot DOS in Windows XP?
Not to put too fine a point on it, you don't.
There is no way to reboot a WinXP PC into Real Mode DOS unless
you've set up a dual-boot system. The WinNT family of 32-bit
graphical operating systems, of which WinXP is the latest generation,
has never used, included, or "ridden upon" MS-DOS. The Recovery
Console's CLI (Command Line Interface) is the closest you can come to
the old "DOS mode."
I want to copy files.
That's easily accomplished in Windows Explorer; no need for another
operating system. If you've a large number of files to copy on a
regular basis, you could create a simple batch file to execute the
necessary CLI commands.
