You problem does not seem to be one of hard-disk space but one of ram memory. I assume that your d: drive is your cdrom drive and that you are booting from the hard-disk?

Edit config.sys to contain only the following:

device=c:\directory\himem.sys
device=c:\directory\emm386.exe
dos=high,umb

devicehigh=c:\directory\cdromdriver.sys ....

replace directory by the directory where your drivers are stored and cdromdriver.sys by your cdrom driver.

Edit autoexec.bat file to contain the following:

c:\directory\mscdex.exe ......


replace directory by the directory where resides the mscdex.exe file and the proper parameters
