Answer» In the safe mode, I get a list of PARTITIONS INSTEAD of a DOS prompt that I need. How do I skip this??? You don't get a DOS prompt option in the XP safe mode menu, like you did in 85/98/ME. XP is an NT-family OS, and does not come with MS-DOS.
You can boot to the "Recovery Console" if you have an XP install disk.

This may not be exactly what you want. You COULD try booting with an MS-DOS floppy, but unless your OS PARTITION is formatted in FAT32, you may not be able to do very much.
What are you hoping to do?
I have a black screen after I see windows load up, but I can here the computer working too. I am able to log in to windows blindly and here the desktop load up. I was hoping to re CONFIGURE my video bios thru ms-dos.Like Contrex said, MS DOS isn't included in Win XP so if you want DOS you'll need a DOS bootdisk.
But you say you get a blank screen when windows starts to load? What exactly happens when you boot in safe mode?
