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?

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.
