Now many friends have installed WinXP, which is indeed fast and stable, but it also brings inconvenience. For example, when you want to use Ghost for cloning, it doesn't work because Ghost requires running in pure DOS. What to do? Some friends think of Vfloppy, but it is after all virtual, not pure DOS, and after you use Ghost to restore, you have to reinstall Vfloppy, which is inconvenient. Try:
1. If you formatted the C: drive with the command Format c:/s before installing WinXP, then after installing WinXP, you can enter pure DOS by pressing F8;
2. If you didn't use the command Format c:/s to format the C: drive as a system drive before installing WinXP/Win2003, there is another remedy method.
Required commands:
Sys; srcboot; bootpart; attrib
Specific steps:
1. Boot the DOS from a CD or floppy disk;
2. Sys a: c: (so that the existing C: drive can boot);
3. Srcboot c: c:\bootsect.dos /s (save the current Dos boot information);
4. Echo y|Bootpart winnt boot:c: (This step is to re - restore the Nt boot kernel, because you used Sys a: c: to overwrite the original Nt boot information of the C: drive. If this step is not carried out, booting from the hard disk will become pure DOS.);
5. Attrib -h -s -r C:\boot.ini (This step is to remove the hidden, system, and read - only attributes of Boot.ini.);
6. Echo c:\="MS-DOS">>c:\boot.ini (Add the option to enter DOS in Boot.ini.);
7. Attrib +h +s +r C:\boot.ini (Restore the hidden, system, and read - only attributes of Boot.ini.);
8. Restart the computer, press F8, select the last item "Return to the operating system selection menu", and select the "MS-DOS" item to be able to enter pure DOS.
Of course, you can use a batch processing to carry out automatic processing. I made a batch processing, which has been successfully used many times. After downloading, extract it to a directory (you need to remember this directory, because you will enter this directory later, and the parent directory of this directory is best not to exceed 8 characters, and it should not be a Chinese directory). Then, boot the computer from the boot disk (CD or floppy disk), enter the Ebd directory you just released, and type in Xpdos (this is a batch processing), and it will be done.
Supplementary note:
This method has been successfully used many times by me. But when it was used on a Great Wall computer, it took great efforts. The process: it was not successful after installing 3 times. Reflecting, why did it be successful at one time on other machines, but not on this machine? Is it the problem of the restoration master (because it is for students, and the restoration master has been used), the restoration masters of other machines have been uninstalled, so it is successful at one time. But the restoration master of this machine was not uninstalled. Is it because of it? Let's try. Restart and press F10, enter the restoration master, among which the third item is about partition settings. Look at it, among which the attribute of the C: drive is A, that is, it is restored immediately when booting, change it to C, that is, not restored. Save and restart, then run the batch processing, and it is successful!
Conclusion: When encountering problems, it is necessary to analyze the reasons calmly to find the countermeasures.
