To get to the DOS prompt outside of Windows, either tell it to Shut down and "Restart in MS-DOS mode", or hit the F8 key when you see "Starting Windows 95..." and select "Safe mode command prompt only" then you should start off in C:\. if you don't then just type "cd \" However, I'm not clear on exactly where in the install process you are.
