EDIT: It finally works after a nonstop messing around.

Not necessarily a troubleshooting on a game, but rather on the program to run the game. This is the best place where I find most revelant to create this topic.

I have followed the instructions on the abandonia web page on how to get started using the DOSBox, but I cannot seem to get pass through with getting the program to recognize the C drive, after doing everything as instructed.

The program kept on mounting the Z drive, instead of the C drive, though I have done everything required on the tutorial.

Here is the current content within my dosbox configuration file.

# This is the configurationfile for DOSBox 0.71.
# Lines starting with a # are commentlines.
# They are used to (briefly) document the effect of each option.

[sdl]
# fullscreen -- Start dosbox directly in fullscreen.
# fulldouble -- Use double buffering in fullscreen.
# fullresolution -- What resolution to use for fullscreen: original or fixed size (e.g. 1024x768).
# windowresolution -- Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
# output -- What to use for output: surface,overlay,opengl,openglnb,ddraw.
# autolock -- Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen.
# sensitiviy -- Mouse sensitivity.
# waitonerror -- Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.
# priority -- Priority levels for dosbox: lowest,lower,normal,higher,highest,pause (when not focussed).
#************ Second entry behind the comma is for when dosbox is not focused/minimized.
# mapperfile -- File used to load/save the key/event mappings from.
# usescancodes -- Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems.

[dosbox]
# language -- Select another language file.
# memsize -- Amount of memory dosbox has in megabytes.
# machine -- The type of machine tries to emulate:hercules,cga,tandy,pcjr,vga.
# captures -- Directory where things like wave,midi,screenshot get captured.

language=
machine=vga
captures=capture
memsize=16

[render]
# frameskip -- How many frames dosbox skips before drawing one.
# aspect -- Do aspect correction, if your output method doesn't support scaling this can slow things down!.
# scaler -- Scaler used to enlarge/enhance low resolution modes.
#********** Supported are none,normal2x,normal3x,advmame2x,advmame3x,hq2x,hq3x,
#************************ 2xsai,super2xsai,supereagle,advinterp2x,advinterp3x,
#************************ tv2x,tv3x,rgb2x,rgb3x,scan2x,scan3x.

#********** even if the result might not be desired.

[cpu]
# core -- CPU Core used in emulation: normal,simple,dynamic,auto.
#******** auto switches from normal to dynamic if appropriate.
# cycles -- Amount of instructions dosbox tries to emulate each millisecond.
#********** Setting this value too high results in sound dropouts and lags.
#********** You can also let DOSBox guess the correct value by setting it to max.
#********** The default setting (auto) switches to max if appropriate.
# cycleup** -- Amount of cycles to increase/decrease with keycombo.
# cycledown****Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage.

core=auto
cycles=auto
cycleup=500
cycledown=20

[mixer]
# nosound -- Enable silent mode, sound is still emulated though.
# rate -- Mixer sample rate, setting any devices higher than this will
#******** probably lower their sound quality.
# blocksize -- Mixer block size, larger blocks might help sound stuttering
#**************but sound will also be more lagged.
# prebuffer -- How many milliseconds of data to keep on top of the blocksize.

nosound=false
rate=22050
blocksize=2048
prebuffer=10

[midi]
# mpu401******-- Type of MPU-401 to emulate: none, uart or intelligent.

#************Gravis Ultrasound. (Same IRQ's and DMA's are OK.)
# gusrate -- Sample rate of Ultrasound emulation.
# ultradir -- Path to Ultrasound directory.**In this directory
#************ there should be a MIDI directory that contains
#************ the patch files for GUS playback.**Patch sets used
#************ with Timidity should work fine.

[speaker]

# timed -- enable timed intervals for axis. (false is old style behaviour).
# autofire -- continuously fires as long as you keep the button pressed.

Any help would be much appreciated, Thank you.

Edit: I have already tried switching the drive by inputting "C:", but a message shown up telling that the drive does not exist.

Obviously, you were trying to mount a nonexistent directory.
