How do I get to Command Prompt / DOS without loading 2K? [mode command] [safe mode]

Q: Hey, try

Im Win ME installed on a separate partition on 2k, but when I setup / ntldr “from within 2k tells me I have to restart in dos dos.

I thought had been removed from 2k? If How can I access a command prompt without loading win2k? Ive tried with command prompt but i cannot install from there either.

Thanks

Re:Hey,
I had problems with ME so i installed 98SE instead.

Problem is there is no multi-boot menu and only Win98 is loading (i did use the/ntldr command) how do i load 2k now?


Re:Grab WINME.EXE from here (http://dos.li5.org/#disks).

Re:Which boot disk do i need?

i need one that takes me to a command prompt and allowes use of my CDROM


Re:This wont overwrite my NT boot loader will it?
Ill be able to choose between the 2 os's without problem?

Re:Oh that.

You need to grab a WinME boot disk (get it from http://www.bootdisk.com if you don't have one) and boot up from that. You can then run the setup from there.


Re:Ive done that but the only option mentioning a command prompt is " with Command Prompt" which still wont let me install ME.

There must be a way of doing this! I Read a FAQ on the site showing how to install ME after 2K, but it doesent say how to get to the command prompt! (remember: ME refuses to install from within windows)

Re:During bootup you need to hold down F8 and then it gives you a bunch of options.
