Dosbox setup help *SOLVED*

[todd93]

Hi, all, I emerged Dosbox, however, I start it, and am unable to get it to mount anything. I have been following online tutorials, but when I try to mount c anything, it tells me that it doesn't exist. I know I have to be missing a step here, but I'm unable to find it. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

One potential concern is that DOS may encounter difficulties handling long filenames.
It would be beneficial to examine your approach to mounting and understand the specifics of what you are attempting.

By the way, here's a more streamlined example illustrating how to execute a game, incorporating the mounting of both the game directory and ISO image:

I appreciate your response! I finally figured out what I was doing wrong... It took some intense searching, as everything I was finding was for Windows installations... I now have successfully mounted a c and have installed blood. Another problem I'm having is I'm not able to mount a cdrom drive. I've tried everything for it to see the cdrom drive, but it's just not seeing it. In order to install Blood, I had to copy the cds to the hard drive... Surely there's a way?

Thanks

Need to mark this one as solved... It was mostly a case of user error, and learning how dosbox works. Thanks for the help!
