Are you sure the floppy is still readable?

Maybe the program(s) are using some sort of low-level disk-access not supported by DOSBox.

I am sure it is an authentic MsDos floppy. But the diference is that i am using DosBox with a 126 Mb bootable MsDos 6.20 Hard Drive image and not only a directory mounted as a drive C. May be the MsDos under the emulator cannot see that Floppy properly. But it mounts fine without MsDos.
It just a little detail i realize using DosBox with MsDos v6.20.
Thanks.
