Need some DOS help.

PB 60, 456MB C Drive, 1.2GB D Drive, E Drive – CD , 40MB Ram.
Installed WFW311 on C to reinstall W95.  Without startup diskette, D Drive
is not recognized.  I know I must change autoexec.bat and config.sys on C,
for C to recognize D as a hard disk and E as the CD Drive on startup.
Can I do the following:
1. insert the “DEVICEHIGH” statement on the A config.sys into the C
config.sys, changing ‘A’ to ‘C?
2. insert the line with “MSCDEX’ in the A autoexec.bat into the C
autoexec.bat, changing ‘A’ to ‘C’?


C DRIVE

C:\CONFIG.SYS
    DEVICE=C:\WFW311\WINDOWS\SETSERVER.EXE
    DEVICE=C:\WFW311\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
    DOS=HIGH

C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
    @ECHO OFF
    PROMPT $p$g
    PATH C:\WFW311\WINDOWS;C:\WFW311\\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\DOS
    SET TEMP=C:\DOS


STARTUP DISKETTE

A:\CONFIG.SYS
    DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS
    DOS=HIGH
    FILES=30
    BUFFERS=20
    DEVICEHIGH=A: \CDMKE.SYS /D:MSCD0001 /P:340 /L:E

A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
    @ECHO OFF
    PROMPT $P$G\PATH A:\;C:\DOS
    A:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD0001 /M:30 /L:D
    A:\SMARTDRV.EXE 512
    RESTHD.EXE


TIA
