C prompt stuck in DOS

When I try and boot into DOS my C:/ is stuck and I can't
get into DOS. What do I do to correct this problem?
Thanking you in advance.

Can you type at all? What does your prompt look like? C:/
or C:\ , it should be the latter. Try SFC if it is file
related. It may be memory related if not file related.

Can you give more details?

SFC = System File Checker, it is the actual program file
name [C:\Windows\System\SFC.exe].

What file were you trying to delete? Did a program tell you
to delete it? An email? Could it be the result of a virus
hoax? Or a virus?
