You really don’t know Windows. 1) You can boot to a command prompt in safe mode if the system goes into automatic recovery mode; 2) you can boot to c:\ from a boot disk or the installation disk; 3) you can set up boot options ahead of time to allow you to boot to c:\ any time you restart; 4) you can access a c:\ prompt in safe mode by logging on as another user; and 5) you can go to a command line from a system window. The last 2 require being in windows, but the first 3 can be done when you are cold booting or windows in not accessible.
You don’t understand.
If you can get into safe mode, windows is not down, you’ve just lost a necessary driver, usually the video, and that’s no problem.
Using a boot disk doesn’t necessarily give you access to any part of the hard drive; it depends on what is damaged.
I repeat, win 98se is the last version that actually gives access to the commanf line from a normal boot.
