try something like
mount c c:\msdos
c:
boot winb600.ima

Put the image in the same folder as your dosbox.exe.
Execute dosbox.exe
type in mount c .
C:
type in "boot nameofimage.ima"

thx a lot,

I put the Imagefile in the installation folder, and it booted just fine 😀

No I can proceed and install MS-DOS.
With the other instructions I should be able to play
the adventure without sound problems.

*lol*

when I run the format /s, I used a Win98 Bootdisk.
While booting from the HD image, I could shortly see the Windows
Bootupscreen with the MS flag...

But I should use a DOS bootdisk, the Win98 formatted hd just
stopped in the middle.

Hi,

I have to bother again.
I installed MSDOS with no problems.
I could even configure my config.sys to expand the memory,
but when running DOS, I cannot access the drives and directories
mounted by DOSBox.

My autoexec part of the dosbox.conf looks like this:

[autoexec]
mount 3 E:\DOS # (tried D instead of 3 previously)
mount 4 Y:\ -t cdrom # (tried Y instead of 4 previously)
imgmount C c.img -t hdd -size 512,63,16,203 -fs fat
boot -l C

But DOS ist just regocnizing it's own partition.
Is it possible to access the DOSBox mounted drives,
or is there another way of accessing directories and drives
under DOS?

I'd apreciate you help
Stephan

You cannot access your host filesystem from the guest if you load the real ms-dos.

If you insist on useing images for your games then the easiest way to put DOS games on the images is to open them up with Winimage and manually put your games into the image.

Ah, that was what that link was for.
Guess I'm all set then.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Now I just need to compile DOSBox myself,
so I get optimal performance.

thx again,
Stephan
