"Hi my name is Dave Andrews and today I am going to show you how to reset a computer n DOS. There is two ways you can reset your computer if you are booted up in DOS mode and I'm going to kind of demonstrate both of them here. On my computer as you can see I have a DOS window booted up and as you can see in DOS you can run commands like DIR to get directory listings and that outputs data that you would see in your folders and everything but how can I in DOS reset my computer. There are two ways you can do this. The first way is by holding down the control and alt keys and pressing the delete key. I'm not actually going to do that right because it would cause the computer to reboot. The second way that you can reset a computer in DOS is simply at the command prompt type Exit and that is the method that I am going to use right here. If you just type exit as a command and then press enter your computer will then simply reset. My name is Dave Andrews and I have just showed you how to reset a computer in DOS Mode."
