No email adresses in these forums, please.

Tell us exactly what you typed when trying to mount the hdd and the cd drive. Also, tell us the full path (in Windows) of your folder where you have the game.

You own the original CD, right? Have you used the parameter "-t cdrom" when mounting it? What's the label of the CD?

First, sorry about the email, I thought it would be a quicker way to get this issue resolved...

Ok, when trying to mount dosbox I typed: mount c c:\

It yelled at me, saying that mounting c: is not a good idea, and that I needed to include the specific file path, so I restarted dosbox.

Typed: mount c c:\mps\magic
C:
magic

Got: File->findcd.c, Line->56
Could not locate CD

Cd error, so I restart dosbox.

typed: mount d d:\ -t cdrom
mount c c:\mps\magic
c:
magic

Got: Could not find CD volume mpsmagic._cd

Searched the CD there is no such file on the CD.

And no, it is not an original CD, my original got gacked. I THINK this is a copy of an original that a friend burned for me...

Full path in windows is c:\mps\magic. Quick and easy to get to.

Thanks for the help.

put a reply header in to your mail client

It's not that you email disturbs anyone, it's that if you post it all over the Net you're likely to get more spam.

It sounds like a copy protection check. Sometimes it's not enough with "-t cdrom". Try adding "-label" plus the CD's label. If it's a copy of the original CD (not merely containing the same files) you should be able to see the label browsing the CD's properties in Windows.

Eh, doesn't work....

Any other suggestions?

If your Master of Magic CD is burned, as you say, and not the original one, it might miss some files, that all have to be on the CD, upon which the game doesn't find the original CD.
But in case you still have the full original (just burned) CD, don't mount the folder of the game but the C: drive instead like you already did before. Like this:

mount c c:/ (if you don't want the advise at the start of DosBox, use / instead of \)
mount d d:\ -t cdrom -label DISCNAME (replace DISCNAME with the name of the CD, and don't use / here, only \, otherwise only limited CD-Rom support which causes the game to be not able to find the CD)
c:
cd games\m_magic (assuming you installed the game into folder with such name)

Hope that helps in running the game
