This stores your soundcard settings. Rename it back to what it was right away!

That's... not how drive mounting works in DOSBox.
1. The drive letter in DOSBox does not have to have anything to do with the actual location of the directories on your actual hard drive. I've been happily mounting F:\Oldgames\ as the C drive in DOSBox for last 7 years.
2. Your drive mounts should start with C That's how it was in DOS, and you really should do it that way.
3. The Beginner's Guide should help a bit.

You have moved something to c: . Question is what. Screenshot of that directory's contents, please.
What are you mounting in DOSBox? What error messages do you get? Screenshots, please.

Also, make sure the directory is not set to "read only" (check its' properties in Windows). If it is, you've got your cause right there.
