One really simple solution is to use D-Fend, which is linked to on the DOSBox site. It does all of the mounting for you.

I dont see any tutorial about configuring DOSbox (even tho many prefer the D-fend frontend (not even a tutorial on that either)) since i see alot newbs with that kind of problem (not only in this forum)

DOSBOx.conf seems properly documented to me... a lot of comments about each settings there... if you don't bother to read them...

But the problem in this thread does not seem to be with configuring, but rather using DOSBox. Using the 'mount' command is really straighforward. After you've mounted your drive using

mount c: "d:\My Documents\My Games\whatever"

change to it by typing C:

Your prompt should change to C:\ and you're in the mounted folder now, of which you can see the contents using dir. Type run the .exe,.bat or .com-file that starts up the game and there you are.
You can add the mount-command to the DOSBox.conf-file to automatically make your drive-mounts at startup. Add them to the [AUTOEXEC] part at the bottom of the file.

PS. Note the double quotes. These are only needed if your path contains spaces and other weird characters.

well I've tried the easier way and defend and I still can't get touche to run but I did get others to work. Not sure what it is with touche but I've spent way way too much time oon this today so enough for now but thanks for the help. they were great ideas. I can get it to change to c now but the game refuses to start still.
