Basicly, you need to mount a folder as your C drive (hardisk) and anything else as D (CD-ROM) if needed.

E.g.

mount c C:\Users\david\Desktop\New Folder
mount d F:\ -t cdrom

On the example above I am guessing your REAL CD/DVD drive is letter F.

After that, change to proper drive (cdrom) for installing or hard drive to navigate its subdirectories.

I understand mounting the "c" drive part, I know how to do that. but the games are .exe's that are on my computer, so its not coming from the cd drive
