FIRST OF ALL I FEEL STUPID FOR ASKING BUT, IF I DON'T ASK, THAT WOULD BE STUPID.....I DID EXACTLY LIKE THE DOSBOX SET UP SHOWS, ONLY WHEN I TRY IT FROM START UP MENU THE DOSBOX COMES UP WITH Z: DRIVE, IT SAYS TO TYPE IN INTRO MOUNT AND IT STATES THAT I HAVE TO MOUNT IT FIRST?????????? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?? I HAVE WIN XP AND WISH TO ENGAGE MY 4 1/2 YR OLD AND I INTO SOME OLDER DOS GAMING FUN, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND ANY HELP. hARRY

First, stop using capital letters, it's a form of bad PC etiquette.

Second, wherever the folder of dos games may be, that's your location, your virtual drive C:

Third, where is the cd-rom drive located?

good day to you too ianfreddie07, thank you for replying, i did some looking around and figured out what i needed so far, again thanks. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ianfreddie07 @ Jun 23 2007, 08:29 PM) [snapback]296036[/snapback]</div>

Open up in windows the directory where you have your dosgames stored. Make note of the full name of the directory. It should look something like:

c:\program files\goobers

Then run DOSBox. When it starts type the following:

mount c "c:\program files\goobers"

replacing the bit in quotes with the directory you found above. Then type "C:" (that's the letter 'C' followed by a colon and press enter) and everything should be as you remember it from your DOS days.

thank you quesst, i did a little reading ealier and then went back to my dosbox autoexec and changed to cc:dosbox\cdrive instead of it showing as c c:\dos\cdrive now it comes up with the c: prompt, yes, dos has been a long time since i've played with it, thanks for your time, Harry<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(guesst @ Jun 24 2007, 09:30 AM) [snapback]296110[/snapback]</div>
