Then simply keep the key depressed during the bootup process. If you
don't have the Recovery Console installed, or a multiboot arrangement,
it won't be clear just when to press f8. It's a good idea to install
the Recovery Console anyway. I suggest you do that. Then the boot.ini
file will include a delay period (maybe 10 or 30 seconds) during which
time you make up your mind which to select ... the Console or Windows.
But during that time, Windows is selected by default. So pressing f8
during that time will cause a Safe mode selection screen to appear.
I suggest choosing plain Safe mode.
