That is part of why DOS can not see the CD.  You need to add that
statement back in to your new config.sys  -AND-  you need to add
the MSCDEX statement from your old AUTOEXEC.BAT to the new one.

It takes both pieces for DOS to "see" a CD drive.

Where to put the driver file?  It doesn't matter as long as the
statement in your config.sys points to it.  So why not just put
it back where it was... C:\CPQDOS\CPQIDECD.SYS
