This will avoid you lots of read/write related problems.
Win7 is very protective about what your programs do on the C: drive.

Also under Vista ànd Win7 you really should use a CD image with imgmount directly in dosbox, not your real CD drive.
Can be an ISO or a BIN/CUE for mixed CDs.

No, really not, no.
See above, when your mountings are correct you won't have that.
