Bootable hard disk

Hi,
I want to create a bootcd of a hard disk containing MSDOS 6.22 and many other utilities i need to have in case of emergency (NORTON GHOST, PARTITION MAGIC etc.). I have found all the utilities& ms dos files i want to install into the hd. Now since i use NERO 5590 i go to bootcd options and it says tt for a hard drive to be booted fm a cd must be a logical drive. I create a logical drive by using PMAGIC 7 but when i try to install MSDOS 6.22 it wants to be installed only to C: drive which is my primary drive containing XP. How can i tell it not to be installed there but on d: which is the logical drive?
