You can't - XP has no DOS, just a command prompt. What do you need to do?

Yes, you can...sort of...
Repeatedly tap the F8 key on boot up, select "Safe mode with command prompt". Although not really DOS, it's as close as you can get. And to mimic glc, What do you need to do?

Ummmm... you ask to get into dos for XP, but your system specs list 98 as the os... i'm guessing you asked correctly, but... trying to make sure...

The XP cd will do that for you,boot from it and let it run,you can format the drive with it and do a clean install using ntfs.
