Memory: 2GB
Processor: Intel® Celeron(R) CPU G1840 @ 2.80GHz × 2
Graphics: Intel® Haswell Desktop x86/MMX/SSE2

Following your instruction for Linux having problem with command Mount:
On CD/DVD drive there is a disk name “Silent Hunter” and Ubuntu shows
Mounted at /media/luis/SH_V1 11.
On DOSBOX emulator V 0.74 I wrote the command
Z:\>MOUNT D /media/SH_V1 11/ -t cdrom and
Z:\>MOUNT D /media/luis/SH_V1 11/ -t cdrom
Both gave the “Directory media/SH-V1 doesn’t exist”.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
Thank you

add some quotes as your location contains a space.

"Both gave the “Directory media/SH-V1 doesn’t exist”."

Do you have a "SH-V1" directory? If not then either create one or put quotes around the path in your command to mount the "SH_V1 11" directory".

DOSBox can't find "SH-V1" since you have a space in your directory name so you have to put quotes around the path to let DOSBox know that it's a path.

Following your suggestion I tried but the same result. (Directory /media/”SH_V1 doesn’t exist.)
Z:\>MOUNT D /media/”SH_V1 11”/ -t cdrom and
Z:\>MOUNT D /media/luis/”SH_V1 11”/ -t cdrom
The SH_V1 11 is a CD label on disk tray with the name “Silent Hunter” not a Directory.
I want to install this program on C:dos Directory on my HDD but with no success.
Is there any thing else to try to install it?

Also, make sure to use straight double-quotes, as in ". Your post is using smart-quotes for some reason.

If all else fails you can probably configure Ubutnu to mount the CD in a directory that does not contain a space. (I'm not clear on why it's using this "CD label on disk tray".)

As already said, you'll have to use quotes for path names which do include space characters.
Like so: Z:\>MOUNT D "/media/SH_V1 11/" -t cdrom

Wait, can you please rephrase that sentence? I'm not sure what you mean.

Please tell us how you did mount drive "C:", so we can help. Since it's Linux, that folder perhaps has a permission issue.
