Well... I always linked to this tutorial in the past... I think the main problem is that when you go around DOS, you can't go the "easy" way. It's either right or it doesn't work at all. If we link to a tutorial which teach people to use DOSBox by creating a line in their config file without making them realising how or why it's done, you don't really help them in the long run. Give some fish to a poor man, you'll fee him for one day. Give him a fishing pole and teach him how to fish, you'll feed him for life. |

| Eagle of Fire | I never liked the DOSBox tutorial which can be found on this site... And this is another excellent reason. | |

Open up DosBox.conf and put a # symbol on the beginning of the line that mounts your CD drive as drive D. Works like the old DOS-era REM in batch files, ie makes the computer ignore that line. Now run DosBox and mount that directory as your drive D. |

Every time I request that dos "mount d: c:\dos\cdrive\dgate" I am informed that "drive D is already mounted for CD Rom." |

It doesn't matter at all. What is important is that the game must be run from D:\Dgate. This mean that you must create a second Dgate directory in which you place the real game into, then you mount the first Dgate directory as D:. This way, you'll get the D:\Dgate directory you need to run the game. Once you go to D:, you must type "dir Dgate" to get in the directory, then type "Dgate" to run the game. |

[Inside my new "c:\jeux\Dgate" directory, there is another Dgate directory which contain the game in question. That directory is named "c:\jeux\Dgate\Dgate". Fired up DOSBox 0.63 (never got around to get the new version yet), typed in "mount d: c:\jeux\Dgate" and typed D: to get to d:\. I then typed "cd Dgate" to get in the newly mounted "d:\Dgate" directory, and typed "Dgate.exe".] I have set up a DOS file in which I install all of my DOS games to be run by DOSBox. All of my game files are under the folder "CDrive" as recommended by Abandonia's walkthrough for installing DOSBox. At the moment, my DGATE folder is under "c:\DOS\CDrive\Dgate". I typed "mount d: c:\DOS\CDrive\DGate" and got a confirmation message. I then typed "d:" to switch to D:, but when I typed DGATE again, all I got was "Illegal command: dgate". Could it be that there is a conflict of commands? My CD ROM is already mounted as D:...could that be the problem, and if so, then how do I fix this. Thank you all for your assistance. |

Can't work better on my end.  Erm, sorry... I was about to go to sleep when I wrote that...
