I want to get to the command prompt before windows 2000 boots. It only offers you the command prompt in safe mode. How do you do it?

sorry, MS didnt oblige you and include some crappy old win 9x based code :) Windows 2000 is windows NT 5, and has no dos or anything...the only command prompt like thing you could access is the recovery console. good luck :)
