I am having trouble with setting up Basic Dos Commands...for one thing my screen shows a prompt for Z:\..not the request for C:\...
Then...as I proceed to enter the basic commands of mkdir and then "mdtest"...it responds with unable to make: and then unable to make: test.... Can someone help me to walk through this? sojourner |

to get in to c directory, you have to mount it at first (cause dosbox is emulator and you are working with virtual directory tree).
so type in mount example: Code:
mount c: d:\games about mkdir, you cant make directories in Z: drive

One thing more - to change directories in DosBox, type cd directory (where directory is the directory you want to change to, obviously).
Useful if you mount a drive, not a directory. |

You might want to check out the official DosBox FAQ, and particularly this part of it. It is quite helpful for users unfamiliar with DosBox.
I suggest you also read the pages about command line, internal programs (very important!) and the config file. |
