re: Question about 'Contents of the MSDOS.SYS File' Tuesday, December 3, 2002 at 1:34 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Adam the Wiseguy (339 messages posted) Neither 2000 nor XP can be booted into DOS (as you're referring to it) as a bootup option, at least not without using startup disks. In both cases they have an msdos.sys file in the root of c:\, but they're just blank files. You can choose "safe mode - command prompt" when starting up, but you'll still have to log in for security reasons.... and all it is is a dos emulator.
