First, stop using capital letters, it's a form of bad PC etiquette.

Second, wherever the folder of dos games may be, that's your location, your virtual drive C:

Third, where is the cd-rom drive located?

(Mods move topic to DOSBox Troubleshooting)

Open up in windows the directory where you have your dosgames stored. Make note of the full name of the directory. It should look something like:

c:\program files\goobers

Then run DOSBox. When it starts type the following:

mount c "c:\program files\goobers"

replacing the bit in quotes with the directory you found above. Then type "C:" (that's the letter 'C' followed by a colon and press enter) and everything should be as you remember it from your DOS days.
