It sounds like you are trying to run setup after booting to a DOS prompt.
I've never tried this, but I don't think it will work.  You would need to
either make startup diskettes, or boot from the CD.  More information on
exactly what steps you are taking to do the installation would be extremely
helpful.

Computers are a more fun way to do the same work you'd have to do without
them.
