    How to start in DOS instead of going into Win 7?


    My motherboard is Asus P7P55D-E PRO. I have tried pressing F2, F8, F10, DEL during PC starting, but I am unable to get to the DOS.

    I want to go into DOS to do CHKDSK /R because my hard drive has bad sectors and I cannot go into Windows.

    you cannot start in DOS exactly, but you can get into system recovery and run CMD from there, here's how:

    What are the system recovery options in Windows? - Windows Help

    System Recovery Options

    The first one didn't work for me either, it is clickable but empty page. Second link works.

    Do you have a Windows installation DVD?
    If yes, you should be able to just boot from it, and then go to repair console. It will offer you a command prompt.
