I suspect that your install disks are corrupted (Disk1 anyways) A quick test is to boot with DOS disk 1 and then F3 your way to the A:\ prompt. Type format C: /s when formating is over remove the diskette and reboot. You should come to C:\ prompt and be asked to enter the time. If that doesn't happen, then borrow a different set of DOS disks and try again. If you still can't get it to work, then the Hard disk either has a boot sector virus or the hard drive has failed.

I have the same problem with a quantum fireball cr 6.4g.. I used xcopy to copy my old drive. I haven't found the solution yet but I find that if I press f8 when starting I still get the windows boot menu. If I select the dos prompt and type win, windows starts fine. It also starts if you select safe mode. You can then restart and windows starts normally. I can reboot as much as i like after this and everything works fine until I shut down AND power off. When it restarts it comes up with the "type the name......" message again. So for now I am holding down the f8 key when I power on.
