It seems something has happened to your system files. If you have 
a crash disk that was formated with the /s switch you can copy 
the system files back to your root dir on the hard drive. You can 
make one on another PC then use it to boot your PC. Then copy the 
files to your root dir using COPY A:\*.SYS C:\ and COPY 
A:\COMMAND.COM C:\

I hope that solves your problem and it is not a problem with the 
boot sector of the hard drive. If it is you may need to use a 
program such as Norton Utilities.
