use the COPY command to copy COMMAND.COM from the diskette
to the hard disk, and then restart your system.
If COMMAND.COM is already in the root directory, use the MENU
utility described in Chapter 4 to compare the COMMAND.COM
disk. If the files don’t match, use the COPY command to replace
COMMAND.COM on your hard disk with the COMMAND.COM
file on your diskette.

may be missing some hidden system files. (Hidden files are read-only files
that are not displayed when you list the files in the root directory using
