i want to restart in ms-dos mode...how can this be done. i can no longer click "start menu/shut down/restart in ms-dos mode."

i want to use fdisk (which windows 2000 does not support) to repartition and then i want to reformat my drive. how can this be done in windows 2000?

Just throw a ms-dos boot disk with fdisk & format on it into your floppy and reboot. Wahlaah. There is a DOS mode in 2000 but you have to enable it.

Insert Win2K CD into CD-ROM drive after 2000 boots up. goto a ms-dos prompt (Start, then run, then type cmd, and press enter) Goto your CD-Rom Drive while in DOS (D: or whatever the letter is) chnage directory to i386. then type winnt32 /cmdcons . This will install the command console and allow you to boot to DOS instead of Windows2000. Good Luck

i don't know...my system seems to be running a lot smoother and more stable under windows 2000. i upgraded from windows 98 se...the only problem i am having with 2000 is that a few applications do not work with it...and, this is a strange one, a short time after a reboot the pixels in the "check boxes" and the small "maximize, minimize, close" icons in the upper right-hand corner get scrambled.

I wonder if anyone here uses a mac, or does TA have an anti-mac policy?
