DOS Mode --- Really awful, but effective, workaround.

I'm loath to suggest this because it is really a capitulation to the Windows Demon of which your machine is possessed.

You could make a bootable floppy. Do a cold boot from this floppy and you'll have MS-DOS mode, just like you'd get doing it from Windows. One exception though: You'd need to shut down Windows manually before booting from the floppy, whereas MS-DOS mode shuts down things for you.

Cheers, PW.
