When I try to run heroes of might and magic in dosbox, it says that it is unanble to access cd drive. And when i try to run it in windows XP nothing happens... Anyone who knows what to do??? :help:

In this thread somewhere and I'm also pretty sure there's a file in the archive that tells you what to do as well!

I don´t know ANYTHING about this, and I don´t understand what to do, so please help me. What does this mean???

When you have written:

Mount e -t cdrom e:\
(It is e:\ for me)

Then you use the normal procedure...
Mount c c:\
cd heroes

heroes.exe

what does it mean to mount??

[mouse31e]

When you start dosbox you normally use "mount c c:\" to get to your c drive, yes?

ok. we need the same procedure to make the cdrom accessible so use:

mount e -t cdrom e:\

then continue as normal.

this means that dosbox is able to find your cdrom drive and as long as it contains a cd - it doesn't matter what - the game should then run!

edit: put simply, mounting is the process where dosbox assigns letters to your drives.

How do you write - and : in dosbox?? Can´t seem to find the keys

[mouse31e]

well i press the keys with - and : on. I have a standard UK english keyboard layout. Others maybe different. DosBox is actually set up to work with a US layout but I've never had any trouble with those keys!

I am from Denmark, so i guess mine is different. When i press - then comes / and when i press : comes .

I wrote: mount d -t cdrom d:\
Then it wrote: Drive d is mounted as cdrom

But it stil says that cdrom is unable to access

Do you know if there is anything i have done wrong??
