How can I boot into pure dos with XP-Home?

With W98 when I needed to delete a file which was denied access within
the S I could boot into pure dos remove the attributes and delete.
With XP-Home I seem unable to create a boot disk which will allow
access to the hard drive- the boot disk created by right clicking on
the A-drive only allows the system to point to the A:\ prompt!
What additional files must I copy across to allow me to see C:\
prompt?

Boot with the CD and go to Repair Console.

Here is a tool which you can install to you hard drive, which gives you choice of entering pure dos during booting.
It actually installs a virtual floppy drive with a MS-DOS image.

And its a freeware.

More info and download search for "virtual floppy booter" on Digg
