in winXP, if I am not mistaken there is no DOS...
the command prompt is just a DOS shell and is not pure DOS. It was created by microsoft to simulate DOS.

The only way I can think of where u can access DOS is through some kinda emergency startup... i am not sure about how u go around doin it. Maybe u can try searchin the internet. It is something similar to what the partition magic program uses. Do you realise that whenever partition magic restarts ur computer to do its job, it goes into DOS through an emergency mode in WinXP?

well, as for the file prob, only 2 things I can think of rite now, either the file is not there but displayed as still there, or the other possibility is that the file is in use by the system and cannot be deleted or removed. As said, it might also be a virus attack, please check through ur system with a virus scanner to ensure that ur system is free of viruses.

Then again, if all things fail, I also dunno of a better solution but to reformat ur hard drive. Bear in mind that some viruses(if there is any) are memory resident and therefore I highly recommend that u cold boot(shut off power) and start reformating even before windows manages to load. Do not warm boot as the virus might still stay in memory.

Well, just my 2 cents. Correct me if I am wrong here and don shoot me ya...
hehe...

just make sure that the file is not protected by other program and check the file properties. make sure that you have administrator rights to delete it.

You dont have to format ma...just reinstall the OS. You can repair using the CD. And your OS will be like new again without damaging or delete your existing file.

[/b][/quote] bear in mind that without reformating, ur comp will still retain the virus file, if there is one. Also, reinstalling without reformatting is not recommended as programs installed previously will not work as some registry entries will be overwritten by the new OS and therefore causing the programs to malfunction. I dunno, but this is through my experience. Correct me if I am wrong here. Maybe this does not apply to WinXP?
