That'd be great thanks Troth. Seems the PC involved is still having the
restart or freeze as an intermittant fault so may need it sooner than I
thought.
Thanks

Hmm... that's shouldn't happen. Maybe you have a missing file? If you =
=3D
want,
I can send you the startup floppy that I use, which has the basic Win98
Startup files, plus the extras that I mentioned. Obviously, its fits on =
=3D
a
floppy, so won't be a large download for you. Let me know.

Sorry Troth I didn't make myself very clear. I was talking about if you
can't actually boot into XP and so cannot access "cmd".
When I've previously tried to access DOS on XP using a Win98 disk (above
scenario) it just came up with "wrong version of DOS" or something =3D
similar ~
it was a while ago.

You can go to START > RUN > type in 'cmd' without the quotes and that'll =
=3D
=3D3D
get you to the DOS prompt. While not true DOS, you can do many of the =
=3D
=3D3D
same tasks. So, really depends on what you need to do. The BETTER way is =
=3D
=3D3D
to get a Win98 Startup Disk and use that. And, with that Win98 Startup =
=3D
=3D3D
Disk, you add a few extra commands that can come in of use (ie. =3D3D
SMARTDRIVE, DELTREE, etc).
