Boot To DOS:-

                                   Sometimes you may want a computer to boot to a DOS prompt instead of into Windows, especially when trying to troubleshoot a boot problem. This can be done by making a simple change to the MSDOS.SYS file in the root directory of your hard drive. Remove the 'hidden' and 'read-only attributes on MSDOS.SYS. Open it in NotePad and change the line BootGUI=1, to read BootGUI=0. Change the attributes back. Now your computer will boot to the DOS Prompt. Maybe you want to do this from the DOS Prompt: Make sure you're in the root directory of your C drive. Type : attrib -h -r msdos.sys at the DOS Prompt, then press ENTER. Now type: edit msdos.sys and press ENTER again. In the Editor, change BootGUI=1, to read BootGUI=0. Save and exit. Change the file's attributes back (attrib +h +r msdos.sys), and reboot.
