If you are getting the error "command.com" missing then it means that either file is corrputed or problem with Windows 98 operating system.
You can try to copy command.com from any other computer and copy it to your computer. Otherwise you have to reinstall the Windows 98 again.

Make a boot disk from a machine withe the same version of Windows as your machine-go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, and click on the Startup Disk tab.

If you can't do that, go to www,bootdisk.com and download one.

Then boot your computer using that disk and at the A:> prompt type

sys C:

Take out the disk and restart the computer.

Pull the c: drive and install it in a machine that has the same version of os as the d: drive. Boot the machine to a dos window and type sys d:
Once it finishes it will tell you if it was successful. Reinstall it and good luck.

The question is why did command.com get corrupted or vanish.
