Question for those that already have ME running.
Can you use an old copy of command.com and run a dos prompt?

All I have been doing is if I need a command prompt, I throw in my Windows CD and boot with it.

You can also boot with a windows startup disk to get there.
I set up a multiboot system, and one of the options is DOS (from my windows98 partition).
It allows access to the full ME partition through Explorer, although most things installed through ME don't run that way.
