It really isn't necessary to go through so many hoops just to boot to
DOS. Reboot the computer and as soon as you see "Starting Winblows 95"
(or some such) immediately press the F8 key. Choose "Safe Mode, Command
Prompt Only". This will drop you to a command prompt and you will have
full access to your drive. You will be running in 16-bit mode, and as
long as you are pathed to the \Windows\Command folder, you will be able
to run nearly all of your old familiar DOS 6.22 commands.
I don't know who started this thread, but if you have any further
