This probably happened to many of us !
If the previous suggestion does not work :
  - Try to boot with various DOS versions until
  - If you do not have old DOS versions, try to get them at :
       http://eightiesabandonware.50megs.com/os.htm
       post a request in the following newsgroups :
            alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.dos
            alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.old
       in these NGs people are very helpful, you shoud get
       a reponse within the following hours after your post.
