Only for the record, the root directory of a Virtual PC 6 installation has
this (i.e., at the C> prompt):

DOS itself (here PC DOS 2000, the directory DOS above ) has fully 105
files, mostly dated April 1998.
Yes, but Lisa doesn't have a DOS directory. Just command.com and the 2
hidden files (and I wonder how she knows they're there without
chkdsk?). Anyway, my old DOS 6.22 boot floppy that I turned up has
these files on it:

That's what I considered necessary just to to boot. The whole megillah
is a lot bigger. (Granted, I see Qbasic on there, and one wouldn't
need that nowadays; but maybe the lack of mscdex.exe is what's
preventing her from seeing the CD?)
