    What laptop are you using? I will show you how a boot disk for a Sony Vaio 505TX is made and that might help.
    AUTOEXEC.BAT

    @ECHO OFF
    LH A:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:ASPICD0 /M:12 /V /L:Z
    path=a:\;a:\spt

    CONFIG.SYS
    DEVICE=\sys\himem.sys /testmem ff
    DEVICE=\SYS\EMM386.EXE X=D000-D0FF
    DEVICEHIGH=\sys\ifshlp.sys
    DEVICEHIGH=\sys\ansi.sys
    DOS=HIGH,UMB,AUTO
    REM the following section is used for setting up PCMCIA Service Driver
    REM which is necessary for 3rd Party PC-Card (Ricoh Chipset)

    DEVICEHIGH=a:\pcmcia\CNFIGNAM.EXE /DEFAULT
    DEVICEHIGH=a:\pcmcia\PCMSS.EXE
    DEVICEHIGH=a:\pcmcia\PCMCS95.EXE
    DEVICEHIGH=a:\pcmcia\PCMRMAN.SYS

    REM This is the Adaptec 1460 PCMCIA SCSI card driver
    DEVICE=A:\PCMCIA\ASPI2DOS.SYS /D /PCMCIA /Z

    REM This is the CDROM driver
    DEVICE=A:\PCMCIA\ASPICD.SYS /D:ASPICD0

    [COMMON]
    LASTDRIVE=Z

    If you aren't using a SCSI card you can delete or replace the interface driver with the proper one. You will also need ot replace the CDROM driver with the DOS version for your own. The tricky part is where the Ricoh chipset section is. You need the properdrivers or in your case Cardsoft. One indication the slot drivers are loaded properly is the beep you should hear. To simplify, load slot drivers, then the interface card drivers then the CDROM drivers. I hope this helps and doesn't further confuse you. Email me with your autoexec.bat and config.sys if you still have problems.
