Boot To Dos CDROM

I'm burning a lot of worthless CDs trying to make one to boot to DOS (no
floppy drive available).

I've downloaded several programs to boot to DOS, unzipped them, and burned
the iso to a CD. When I boot to the CD I get the Hardware Profile
Configuration Recovery Menu, which shows Profile 1...no other option except
to boot to last good config, etc. When I hit enter it boots to XP.

I need a CD ROM that will allow me to boot to DOS to run the various fixmbr,
fixboot commands, when trying to repair a PC that has a corrupted hard
drive.

I must be too dense, the CDs have the ISO image, and I am booting to the CD.
TIA
