I would suggest you do a clean install of Windows first, and get everything working. Once you have done this, either boot to MS-DOS or goto a DOS window, and install your CD-ROM and Zip drivers from the command prompt.
At the same time edit config.sys and autoexec.bat to make any other changes and preferences that you need.
