Tech support, 1998 style

Update from my previous post.

I try to download Darick's Boot and Nuke on the old PC. It does not let me. Either its technology is not up to the job or... it knows what I am about to do to it.

EDIT: Or maybe I'm not.
dban.org says
•DBAN 2.2.6 Beta for CD-R and DVD-R media.
(Burn this file to a blank disc and boot the computer with it. Do not unzip this file.)

So I burnt it onto a CD and lo! the old PC will not boot from a CD. I am at the
A> prompt. How do I get it to boot from the CD from here?

Or is a screwdriver + flamethrower party my best bet?

*sigh*

EDIT 2: sorted, thanks all!
