You probably have too much available space. This causes an integer overflow and consequently the behavior you're describing. Are you playing the Windows version or perhaps the DOS version in DOSBox?

The DosVersion on Dosbox.With HoMaM2 I have the same problem.Thanks

There's an easy solution, then. When mounting, use the -freesize parameter followed by a number specifying how many MB DOSBox is supposed to report to the games. (700 will do fine)

No,won't work

My command:mount c c:/dosgames -t cdrom -ioctl dx -freesize 700

when I want to save the game goes back to the DosBoxMenu with
following written:Error opening File/games/newgame.GM1

You should not be using -t cdrom -ioctl dx in this command in the first place!
By mounting anything as -t cdrom you're mounting it as read-only - games can't save anything there!
mount c c:/dosgames -freesize 700 is all you're supposed to be entering.

yes as stated, mount c C:\games lets you mount your PCs folder to a "drive that exists in dosbox", in this case C
if you want to additionnaly mount your PCs DVD-ROM, and your windows tells you that it is F:\, chose a letter you want it to have in dosbox, for example D, and type: mount d F:\ -t cdrom [plus other options]
