The disk in the specified drive must have been formatted with a FORMAT d:/S
or FORMAT d:/B command; or, the directory of the disk must be empty. This is
necessary because DOS startup requires that the first two directory entries

The major purpose of SYS is to let you transfer DOS to an application

application allocates the space required for DOS files but does not
actually contain the files.
