Not to put too fine a point on it, you can't.

 

There is no way to reboot a WinXP PC into Real Mode DOS unless

you've set up a dual-boot system. The WinNT family of 32-bit graphical

operating systems, of which WinXP is the latest generation, has never

used, included, or "ridden upon" MS-DOS. The Recovery Console's CLI

(Command Line Interface) is the closest you can come to the old "DOS

mode."
