In most cases such problem results from the corrupted Command.com file in C:\Windows folder (or in whatever folder you have Windows installed). Because you can successfully load Windows I suggest the copy of Command.com in the root of C: drive is intact. Try to copy Command.com file from the root of C:\ drive to C:\Windows folder.
Good luck, Igor
