Did you run DJGPP *after* starting Windows?  You should start Windows 
(type "win" and hit [Enter]), then chose MS-DOS from the Main group, and 
then run DJGPP.  In this setup, there should be no difference whatsoever 
what disk do you use.

You  don't need to run CWSDPMI.  Any DJGPP program will automatically 
load it if no other DPMI server (such as Windows) is available when you 
invoke the program.  Just put CWSDPMI anywhere on your PATH (I recommend 
to put it in the same directory you keep other DJGPP programs) and run 
your DJGPP programs as if they were normal DOS executables.
