How can I boot into a real DOS mode before Windows XP boots?

I am not talking about the recovery console but real DOS.

Can this be done?

I need to knw because I have a CD-ROM firmware which can only be flashed under DOS :(

THX!
 
XP is not built on a DOS layer, but you can create a bootable floppy and put the firmware update on there. Alternatively, you can hit F8 as your system boots and tell it to go to Safe Mode with Command Prompt.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
