Sometimes malware like the Worm.Agobot deletes Autoexec.nt on every restart
and this can cause this problem.
I would not make the boot disks on the system you are trying to repair as it
is far too compromised.
The solution may be to install a DOS Emulator . You can download a good one
for free at
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4381.html I havn't tried it to make boot
disks but it certainly runs most of the old Dos programs.
