Ok, so you started a seperate Thread for your problem now. Here's a short list of questions I asked you in the last Thread that you must have missed (you didn'T answer to them):
- Have you formated your Floppy as a Boot-Disk and not just normally formated?
- Have you tried this yet?
Boot up from your floppy (ignoring the error messages)
The last line should be A:\
Type "C:" and press enter
That should give you C:\ as the last line
Type "CD windows" and press enter
That should give you C:\windows as the last line.

I see you changed the lastdrive spec. However you must put

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM
Before
DOS=HIGH\UMB

My config.sys
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE 16384 RAM D=64 FRAME=E000 /I=B000-B7FF
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=TEAC_CDI.SYS /D:TEAC-CDI
DEVICEHIGH=ESSAUDIO.SYS
BUFFERSHIGH=40
FILESHIGH=40
STACKSHIGH=0,0
LASTDRIVEHIGH=G
SHELL=COMMAND.COM /E:1024 /P

My autoexec.bat
ECHO OFF
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 T4 J200
LH MSCDEX.EXE /D:TEAC-CDI /M:15
LH BBBMOUSE.COM
PATH A:\;C:\QEMM;C:\PRIVATER;C:\TQS;C\:TM
SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
Echo NB. Switch to C: and type ESSAUDIO to set sound

Ignore the last line - it´s there because my sound chip doesn´t have an "official" dos driver, and the one I´m using is a bit picky. :)
 
I thought I did answer. When I do as you've suggested.....it tells me c: is not a valid drive.

These are the changes I've made.....I still get the same error messages and result

My autoexec.bat
SET BLASTER=A220 I10 D3 H7 P330 T6
LH LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /V /M:8
LH MOUSE
PATH C:\MOUSE;c:\windows;c:\windows\command
C:\progra~1\creative\sblive\dosdrv\sbein it.com
set temp=C:\temp

My config.sys
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICEhigh=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM 16384 /I=B000-B7FF
DOS=high,UMB
devicehigh=c:\sbcd\vide-cdd.sys /d:mscd001
DEVICEHIGH=C:\SB16\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /WIN95 /BLASTER=A:220 I:10 D:3 H:7
FILEShigh=40

Luike I guessed. - So definitely the prolbem is that your C: drive is FAT32. - I don't know how to make a bootdisk that works for FAT32 (yet). Hopefully someone else knows it, but I'll try something out, and report back if it works (with FAT32 HDD, I mean)
 
DOS 6.22 bootdisk obviously will not read fat32 drive. You need to make bootdisk from at least Windows 98.
