Default How to boot from a boot disk?

Hi there everyone Im trying to fix my grandpa's computer cause its not booting up. Months ago I created a boot disk. Now I don't know how to boot from it. I pop it in and it says "starting windows 95" which is good then I get a command prompt asking to type the name of the command interpreter but I dont know what to type. I got a free boot disk from bootdisks.com and when it goes to load it says tthe configuration specified in your config.sys istoo large for you memory remove some drivers and then try again.
So I don't know what to do. If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated
