Is this wrong ? I was just following the instructions on how to install DOSBox and get a game up and running, which is on this website.
Yes, to avoid to type mount commands every time you open DOSBox, you should just use DOSBox.config file.

As Don Andy mentioned, it might be that name of flash folder is wrong. Check what's in C directory by typing dir, and then cd to the name as it appears in listing.

Don Andy The actual problem is rather simple:
You try to change into the folder "flash", which simply just isn't there.
The command "dir" lists all folders and files in the folder you're currently in (in this case the C-Drive). "cd " gets you into that folder, where you then can start the corresponding *.exe or *.bat file.

Supermot When you open DOSBox it should say Z:\>
It's at that stage that you type:
mount c c:\game_path
then type
c:

Or maybe I don't understand what's going on here

Booty I think the directory is mounted as c i'm not sure, In the DOSBox.conf I followed the set-up and wrote mount c:c\, so when I open DOSBox it looks like this
C:\>

The Flashback files are extracted to the cdrive sub-folder I created under the DOSBox folder I created in C drive.

In DOSBox I follow the set-up instructions so it looks like this
C:\>dir (then press enter)
Then,
C:\>cd flash (then press enter)
Then I get the message
"unable to change to: flash" :help:

kajjj you have to mount the directory as c:

ex
mount c c:\your_game_folder_path

Booty O.K. thanks, I reinstalled dosbox and it seems to work fine.
But now I have another problem, I've downloaded flashback and extracted it to the CDrive folder, but when I try to move to that folder in DOSBox I get the message "unable to change to flash"
