The command interpreter is "COMMAND.COM"  You don't need to sys the drive if it
is having trouble with the command interpreter; it already has msdos.sys and
io.sys on the drive, or you wouldn't be getting that message.

You probably have CONFIG.SYS file screwed up, so that it is looking for
COMMAND.COM in some directory where it isn't found.

COMMAND.COM is version-specific, so COMMAND.COM from DOS5 is not going to work
very well; even using the one from DOS6.22 is not going to work very well on
DOS6.2  OTOH, you can use 4DOS. It's an UPgrade to COMMAND.COM.
