I still have no idea what you're talking about.  I cannot, for the life of me, recall any screen during shutdown on which you'd get a DOS prompt once Windows is installed.  Are you talking about during fdisking/formatting? Is Windows installed as you said in your first posting?  Is it stalling at some point while you're running on the startup disk?  Exactly where in the process is this occurring?  Wait, are you talking about you click on start/shutdown and then you choose "start up in DOS"?
