How can I boot into the command prompt?


The problem I am facing is that I have some files or malicious files which run repeatedly when I start my computer. So I was wondering if there is any way to boot into a DOS command prompt in Windows XP with SP2, possibly with a boot disk and hopefully then I will be able to avoid these files? Any ides?

My computer is running Windows XP in any versiones.Quieroboot into command line mode or command prompt only mode, iewithout loading the graphical environment, so the only way to work is through the command interface and is used to performspecific maintenance tasks, relaying "clean" systems withoutreformatting disks or for the performance of antivirus programsfrom the command line.


PROCESS STEPS

1. Close all programs.
2. Click the Start button in the Run box, type msconfig and click OK to enter the
System Configuration Utility.
3. Click on the BOOT.INI tab.

4. Startup Options check box / button SAFEBOOT and Minimum (interactive interface).

5. Click OK and restart the computer.


Multiboot systems can be tricky where you have to make it point to Grub to boot from the partition where you have installed operating systems. A good way to find out is to use Grub from the command line to examine what is where. With the information obtained, you can manually edit the paragraph of 'bootstrap' Grub (the line of code visible in the bottom of the Grub boot screen) on the fly or edit the file / boot / grub / menu. lst from the live CD or other OS partition to correct these errors.


Even if you can not boot your computer from the Grub screen, you can open a command line by pressing the key and then pressing to open the command line. This also works from any command line to run on the operating system or a session with the live CD.
