There is no DOS in XP. It is NT based, not DOS based. There is a basic DOS
emulator.
 
XP is not built on or over DOS and therefore doesn't have it. The closest thing to DOS in XP is the Command line interface. This can be gotten at about ten different ways. It's in your start\all programs\accessories\tools or go>start\run and type in cmd and hit ok. Good luck.
 
Greetings --

You can't find it because it was never there.

The WinNT family of 32-bit graphical operating systems, of which
WinXP is the latest generation, has never used or included MS-DOS.
The closest they have is the Command Prompt window.

WinXP, like its predecessors WinNT & Win2K, is a pure 32-bit GUI
OS, and does not include or "ride upon" any version of DOS, as did
Win3.x & Win9x/Me. WinXP does include a command-line emulator for
those times when GUI applets are unnecessary/redundant, but it cannot
be started in "DOS mode."
