Windows 95 won't restart in msdos mode

I have recently decided to revive an old pc of mine to run using windows 95 (First 
Version). The windows 95 setup cd (Genuine) didn't install a version of msdos that 
i could reboot to, so i re-installed the pc with MSDos 6.22 and then installed Windows 
95. Windows works fine, but i can't reboot to MSDos, Windows just shuts down. Do 
i need to install an earlier version of MSDos to get it to work? (I have all versions 
of MSDos V1.0 - V6.22) Or, is it because my pc is too fast? 

PC Specs:

ECS Mainboard, 1Ghz AMD Duron processor, 512mb RAM, 10GB HDD 7200rpm (Formatted in 
FAT16 (2GB recognised)), Creative Labs 5.1 Digital Soundcard (95 - XP Compatible) 
and nVidia Geforce 4 MX 400 video card with 64 mb of RAM.

Any ideas?
