How can I get into DOS mode if I do not have a Windows ME Start-up disk? I need to run a virus scan from there but I don't have a start up disk. Help please! Thanks.

I have a suggestion about the dos mode problem. It is a patch that was created for Win ME. This is the url for it. See what you think. http://www.geocities.com/mfd4life_2000/
If not then you have to use the startup disk im afraid. If you need one then email me and ill get you a copy.

If you have a Windows 98 or Windows 95 start disk use that.

Why not just make a start up disk
To create a startup disk

Open Add/Remove Programs properties in Control Panel.
Click the Startup Disk tab, and then click Create Disk.
Follow the instructions on the screen.

(from the Windows help file)

Or download one from

www.bootdisk.com


This link is newgrl's advice on what you can from a boot disk
