IBM T30 Booting Safe Mode and Dot Prompt

04-05-2010, 01:27 PM

I am really new to Thinkpad T30 with Win XP Pro and I need help. I have so many
trivial questions and unable to find the answer in the Thinkpad help or in
Internet.

How to boot up in Safe Mode or MS Dot Prompt?

Due to different time zones, I may be posting in the wrong time of the day,
please excuse. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

Press F8 repeatedly at the BIOS splash screen (and it's DOS Prompt).
