Are you sure that "msc001" is correct?  Most Creative CD's I've seen use 
a different name, something like "mscd001", I'll have to double check at home.
Also, what does the /v switch do on the sbide.sys file?  

On the mscdex.exe line, don't forget to add the /L:<drive letter> switch. 
Finally, /m:<buffers> should be at least 20-25.
