An MS-DOS start up disk is useful when you need to
access DOS without booting into Windows XP. The procedure is relatively
painless, although, it should be noted that the start up disk will only allow
you to boot to the MS-DOS 'A' prompt. The start up disk does not contain any
other tools

be inserted into your floppy drive

MS-DOS start up disk option
