I only "generally" see this error when I boot into a system
from a floppy, and the floppy files are not compatible with
the OS or the "shell program" on the hard drive.
Check for: INCORRECT [PATHS] SECTION IN MSDOS.SYS FILE
I got this error yesterday.
See:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q139/0/63.asp
for a rather lenghtly dissussion of this.
