I had a similar problem myself.  I am using a BT badged Zenith 386/16, except
as I am an OS/2 developer, I have 12MB of RAM.  The work around I have is 
to install windows on drive e: and then change to drive e: to get either
the E:> prompt or the E:\WIN> prompt.  Then I start windows.  I guess there
is a file on the root of my boot disk that upsets windows, but I haven't
been able to find it, not that I have looked very hard.
