windows xp needs answers to boot off ms-dos boot disk

[jamesdummy]

I ran Ad-Aware, disk cleanup, defrag, and then let scandisk or checkdisk run at night while I slept. It was set to autofix any problems. In the morning the internet wouln't work, so I rebooted. Then Windows XP would not come on. I made a boot disk from my other computer (both registered copies of windows) and used it to boot my first computer. Also, tried to boot with windows xp installation disk. All choices I get by hitting f5 or by just letting either of the two disks run their course, is the command prompt with something like:
 C:\windows\
What do I put in here to get windows to load?
Thanks in advance for any response and hopefully help.

What type of bootdisk did you create ? ?
XP startup disks require 6 floppies...
You can't just use any flavor of Windows to get XP to boot normally.

p.s. You could try typing win at that prompt and hitting Enter...
