The PATH statement does not contain drive letters. For example:

RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, use either of the following methods:
- Modify the PATH statement in the Autoexec.bat file to contain drive letters.
For example, change the statement
SET PATH = \windows;\dos;
to:
SET PATH = c:\windows;c:\dos;
- Disable the PATH statement in the Autoexec.bat file. To do so, place the word
"rem" (without the quotation marks) at the beginning of the PATH statement.
For example:
REM SET PATH = \windows;\dos;
