Hi guys im new to this community, so id really appreciate it if i could get some help.

i know this is a totally n00b question, but how do i get into MS-DOS mode from my system which is running Windows XP professional version? i tried hitting F8 at the start, but there is no option for MS-DOS mode ( or maybe there was and they called it something else)... anyways i know the answer is simple, so please help


Thanks!
