Won't restart in ms-dos (again)

Hello,
I can't restart in ms-dos. Deja-vu.This happened once before and there was a file that Reboot advised I look for in Windows folder, in notepad.
I can't remember exactly which file it was, nor does looking through the folder jog my memory.
To clean up the file was a thought as to get it to reboot iinto ms-dos. It didn't work last time this happened and I wound up reformatting, but I am in the process of troubleshooting my options and this is about all I have left.
Thanks

Thankkkkkk Youuu, Reboot

I don't think it's there, but I will build a blank etc, per last time.
I think the 98 disk maybe was screwed up?
I had to buy a new one cause the old one was a victim of children stomped on charm.
Hate to reformat again, but I have gotten so darn good at it!
Thanks again.

If you have the room, check my article on backing up your system (I think there's two actually).
