Unhappy very broken machine

I have a machine that i cant do anything with. I'm not sure what caused it. Command is gone, msconfig is gone. It wont let me format when i boot with a Dos boot disk. I have tried formatting with Knoppix, but had no luck with that. any suggestions?

My bios are set so it will boot from the cd drive, when I said I had no luck with Knoppix I meant I could not format. Also the processeor has stopped working for some reason, so I can't even try anything right now. Thanks though
