Kelly,

Did you try the second half of my suggestion?
Just copy them both to drive a:
The ONLY editing you need to do is to add a   C:    to the front
end of the commands (if it's not already there) in both config.sys
and autoexec.bat.

The path statements are correct already (otherwise you would not be
able to do a normal boot from C:)  but when you move the command
statements to the floppy, you also need to modify the commands
so that they understand that they need to go to drive C before trying
to locate the file/program/driver.

For example:
\WINDOWS\COMMAND\SCANDISK  "says"
open the windows\command folders -on-the-current-drive- and load the app
BUT
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\SCANDISK  "says"
go to drive c first and then open the \windows\command folder and
load the app

Understand the difference?
