[Gllug] OT - Booting XP to commandline

[Dylan]

Hi All,

Sorry for the Windows question but ...

I'm doing some maintenance to a friend's Win-XP-Pro machine, and need to boot 
to a DOS interface if possible. I remember being ablr to use a function key 
at boot time, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to do it right 
now.

Any hints? Basically, I need to copy the Documents and Settings from the C 
drive to a newly installed data drive to recover disk space and since Windows 
acesses several of the relevant files it will not let me copy them ... Using 
a Linux boot CD is not an option since all drives are formatted NTFS 
unfortunately.

Cheers

Dylan
