re: exit windows 2000 to DOS Saturday, May 18, 2002 at 3:00 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by phil d (8 messages posted) Unlike win 95/98/me, win2k and xp are not based on dos, they're based on microsoft NT (new technology). DOS was the original, very basic operating system - and microsoft decided to make it more user friendly by bastardising it with their own crap - the result was windows. NT was a completely new operating system void of all dos, as dos is very old and basic, and became the slow point for windows. Hence, if you did a clean install of win2k, then you won't have any version of dos installed. You can still get a copy of dos, and install it later though. If you did an upgrade from 95/98/me, then the original copy of DOS that was originally there should still be there. If you do have a version of dos installed, win2k sees it as another operating system, and you now have a dual boot computer - you have to choose which system (win2k or dos) you want to boot from each time the computer starts up. phil d On Wednesday, May 15, 2002 at 6:47 am, scottie wrote: >I have a question about How >to Exit to DOS: >PLEASE COULD YOU TELL ME HOW TO EXIT WINDOWS 2000 TO DOS AS I HAVE SOME GAMES FOR >MY DAUGHTER THAT ONLY WORK IN DOSS? > Written in response to: exit windows 2000 to DOS (scottie: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 at 6:47 am) Responses to this message: re: exit windows 2000 to DOS (davester: Wednesday, May 4, 2005 at 6:07 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] exit windows 2000 to DOS (scottie: Wed, May 15, 2002, 6:47 am) re: exit windows 2000 to DOS (Nill: Wed, May 15, 2002, 7:36 am) re: exit windows 2000 to DOS (phil d: Sat, May 18, 2002, 3:00 am) re: exit windows 2000 to DOS (davester: Wed, May 4, 2005, 6:07 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 2000 Discussion Forum
