Tried one way mentioned by Scatty but it asks for the source drive and obviously I don't have that.

Any help would be great!

Well, you probably need DosBox, and that has the brief instructions on how to get things rolling.

You need to change DosBox.conf, and I think you need to use a command to get dosbox.conf to show up, in the latest version.

Mount the "C: drive" in Dosbox to a folder on your hard drive, say C:\OldGames. That is, you create a folder where you place all the old games in their own directories. Then you tell DosBox to use that folder as the C:\ drive.

In DOsbox 0.73, you need to run, or type, 'config -writeconfig localfile' to get your dosbox.conf file. Then you edit that file, with wordpad or other text editor, under the AUTOEXEC heading at the bottom.

E.G.

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount c d:\oldgames (or C:\OldGames) {wherever you have created this folder}
mount d g:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 ioctl {wherever you have a CD drive}
c:
