up to windows 98 you have the option of restarting the computer in dos mode. Windows ME no longer has this option you will have to press F8 WHILST THE COMPUTER IS STARTING UP and select the command line only option. You may not have a CD drive using this option so will have to load a CD driver. You can of course start up with the Windows start up disk but will then have no sound oor best of all make a DOS start up disk.
M any DOS games run perfectly well in a DOS box in windows (Doom Daggerfall ect) or you can look in the properties and change to run in DOS but again you may not get the CD driver.
PS having the DOS CD driver in your start up will not affect windows and you will never loose the CD as sometimes used to happen with 95
