I've installed it to my computer but now I have to create a C drive. What does that mean and how do I do that? Any suggestions?

There are two ways to mount the games directory.

View this for the graphical method (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2696) (the easy way).

That topic also contains a link to the DosBox Guide, which shows how to mount it through the command prompt. You do not need to do it this way if you do it the other way.

Is this what you needed?

Thank you but I'm still not able to get my game to play.
I'm really sad

No, DosBox wont do anything if you haven't installed the game from the CD yet.

Newbie Guide to DOSBox (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=Basic+Setup+and+Installation+of+Dos Box).

If you need something complicated like mounting a CD, Buffy will probably be able to help you better than me.

The problem ended up being that he/she hadn't actually even installed the game from the CD - which was corrupt - and he/she was still trying to run the game in DosBox using the setup files.... I did not have a magical solution for that one Eagle of Fire! :bleh:

Just asked what game it was and suggested where else it could be sourced.
