None of your arguments make sense, and doesn't apply to either point...
Same goes for your arguments I'm affraid. :laugh:
There is no reason why you shouldn't use a directory to mount as virtual C:
And there is no reason whatsoever to mount your C: directly.
Except one point: you don't run dosbox under Dos but under Windows.
And you advise people who have clearely no idea what they are doing.
That gives you at least some responsability.
You aren't giving advise to people who know what they are doing, those don't ask help, they simply don't need it.
Anyway, this has been discuted longely and elaborate on Vogons, and I honnestly aren't very eager to go over the same yes-no ping pong here again.
BTW, you really haven't tried that root mount in Vista ...... or Linux or a Mac, did you? Or a non-admin account in XP/Vista .....
Oh whatever, it ain't a capital sin to mount the root anyway, but maybe it's better safe then sorry?
