Hey anyone know how to get to command prompt? This has to be before the Win XP scandisc because after it, keyboard doesnt work and mouse doesnt work. Pretty sure it will work it dos as it works in winxp installation.

avengus,

Please don't double post the same problem, it will throw people all off and take longer to get the information your after.

There is no dos mode in XP prior to loading XP, you can however boot from any win98 bootdisk to test your keyboard. Or put the XP disk in and select Console Recovery Mode, its the closest thing to a true dos mode XP offers.

If you want to try safe-mode, just Hit F8 right after your bios info until you get a menu of choices.
