You mount a virtual C: first as harddrive,
then you mount over that a virtual D: as harddrive,
then you mount a CDdrive as E:
and over that you mount a image as CD drive D:


mount C D:\DOS\ -freesize 512
mount D E:\ -t cdrom

Or
mount C D:\DOS\ -freesize 512
[imgmount d x:\path\image.iso -t iso] *just added now*

would be more like it, so you will have a virtual C:as harddrive and D: as CDdrive.
And please get rid of that CLS, so you would see the dosbox devs put
Don't mount your real C: as C in dosbox or something shouting right in ya face, and for good reasons.
That -ioctl is pretty useless with dosbox 0.72, and if you're on Vista it's -noioctl you will -(MAYBE)- need NOT -ioctl.

That game apparently need the CD.

mount d x:\ -t cdrom

Replace the x:\ by your real CD drive letter under windows.

Install the game from d: on c: IN dosbox.

BTW, weren't you the one on a crappy PC? Then you'd better make an ISO from your CD and mount that one, works a bit faster in dosbox.
You mount your image as this:
imgmount d x:\path\image.iso -t iso
Or if you use bin/cue:
imgmount d x:\path\image.cue -t iso

[Edit]
BTW, edit your dosboxconf and set:
core=auto
cycles=max
As far as I know, I've done all that; never had any probs with DB before (except with Daggerfall but that's another tale).

Here's my Autoexec:

"[autoexec]

mount C C:\
mount D D:\DOS\ -freesize 512
mount E E:\ -t cdrom ioctl
[imgmount d x:\path\image.iso -t iso] *just added now*
D:
CLS"

_r.u.s.s. well mobygames said that there's also a dos version? are you sure it's dos version, tamrhind?

also, what exactly was you typing out when trying to install it? what drive letter is your cdrom?

DoomYoshi NVM... perhaps I should research before I post

New game. Any Ideas?

Picked up a CDROM of "Microcosm" - by all appearances, based on Asimov's novel (& follow-up movie) "Fantastic Voyage" about a micromini-sub travelling through a body. Seems it might be a worthwhile game.
Except I cant Install it! It either doesn't recognise the directory I put want to put it in (D:\DOS, already extant) or it says I need to install MSCDEX. Since I'm using DosBox on XP, this shouldn't be a prob., should it?

For info, I attach part of dosconf:

"[fullscreen=false
fulldouble=true
fullfixed=false
fullresolution=800x600
output=surface
hwscale=1.00
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true
priority=higher,normal
mapperfile=mapper.txt

[dosbox]
language=
machine=vga
captures=capture
memsize=64

[render]
frameskip=15
aspect=false
scaler=normal2x

[cpu]
core=dynamic
cycles=5000
cycleup=200
cycledown=200"

Thanks in advance
