hmmm one sec ill make a post

Any ideas?

as far as i know xp does not have that anymore. only the console. but i might be wrong.

whats the problem?

have to use a boot disk as xp doesn't sit on top of dos like the older versions..
Tell your friend to try
http://www.allbootdisks.com
to get a new boot disk...

Hope this helps Juicy :)

he's gonna need to make a boot disk in order to do that, http://bootdisk.com/ has all dos versions and other utils he might need

Thanks for the site, gonna bookmark it !

There are special bootable xp cds :)

Hit me up on icq if you need any details/help ;)

This is possable. Hit "F8" right at the point of starting to boot XP, then select "safe mode DOS prompt"

This I don't think you can do without a Floppy or CD, never tried it, but the command would be on the same drive you are formating.

:2 cents:

Has he fixed the prob yet? A bootable CD will do just fine.

a cd works like a bootdisk, just make sure you have cd boot set in bios
