I believe you need to re-examine parameters for your use of
MSCDEX.EXE.

You use the  /d:  switch to designate the driver and the  /L:
switch to designate the Drive Letter.  So...  in your config.sys
you will have this driver:

device=c:\driver.sys /d:mscd000

In your Autoexec.bat your MSCDEX.exe driver will look like this:
MSCDEX.EXE /d:mscd000 /L:G

***Note: The CD driver in your Config.sys will need the proper path
to find the driver.  The /d: switch can be set to anything as long as it
is identical in the Autoexec.bat, I use this switch:   /d:nospin
So you can see anything will work as long as they match.
