    Give this a try:
    1. Go to http://www.bootdisk.com and download a bootdisk for the exact same version of Windows that you're running on that machine.
    2. Create the boot diskette then boot the machine from it.
    3. At the A:\> prompt, type in the following three DOS commands, pressing [Enter] after each:

      sys a: c:
      copy a:\command.com c:\
      copy a:\command.com c:\windows

    4. Remove the boot disk and reboot the system from the hard drive.
    5. Click Start|Run, type in command and press [Enter].

      You should now be at a DOS prompt.
    6. Let us know what happens ...
