cmd.exe: "Access is denied" from root directory

I found that the Unofficial Service Pack for Windows 98SE came with cmd.exe version 5.0.2144.1, which appears to be from Windows 2000.

I seems to work fine with basic testing, but when I try to use CD or PUSHD to change directory from a root directory (C:\, D:\, etc) I get a message "Access is denied". If I am instead already in a child directory, such as C:\Windows, then I can successfully change directory to C:\Windows\Desktop.

I am testing this on Windows ME and I have this error with or without KernelEx installed.

Is there a way to work around this? I would like to have the NT command interpreter available in Windows 9x to run more complex batch scripts that need to change directories.
