the most obvious method would be to load up a bootable cd or floppy to dos and manually check the files, however you may have issues doing that unless you are familour with command prompt.

a bootable cd is very common method to the command prompt, since you have access to the web to post here you should be able to google a image to burn onto any blank media that does this for free.

here is one of many examples

if the boot cd woked correctly you should have got the "press key to load from cd" prompt after bios screen, pressed a key then the dos loader would have kicked in and loaded a black screen with command prompt yes?
