- advantage is drivers are loaded for the CD drive

When starting, repeatedly press F8 and select "Command prompt only"
- disadvantage - no access to CD since DOS drivers are not loaded.

To access Windows after either restart, type "win" or "exit' and press Enter.

Thanks for that. I suddenly realise the command is staring me in the face every time I shut down.
