It sounds like your hd uses either ntfs or fat32 like Kenny said. You need to make sure that the DOS you are booting with is a version of DOS that supports fat32 (I.E. a boot floppy for win95b or win98). If you've got ntfs on the hd, you're out of luck as far as I know, but I could be wrong about that.
