Do you mean that you've mounted the VM's virtual disk on the host while the VM is running?

Don't do that. Operating systems typically don't expect that local disks will change from underneath them.

If you want to share files between your DOS VM and your host, you either should power the VM off and mount the disk, or you can try using third-party tools so that you can use Shared Folders (for example, http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vmtools.html ).
