I am going to be figuring out how to use DosBox in Linux, don't worry, i'm a lean keen figuring out how to use linux machine 🙄 . I have already asked some questions about this, and as suggested, rest assured I am in the process of learning.

But in the meantime I have installed DosBox In windows, and I can not access the disk drive or even the hard drive. I therefore cannot install programs, and i'm not sure if i'll be able to use them. I can only access the z drive .. z:\. Could you please help to access the disk drive.

I want to first install Turbo C++ for Dos from the floopy disk drive. 😐 😀 😘

Thanks 😀 . I didn't know what those meant. But now the program still isn't working. During the installation, it seeks to skip copying files from disk 2 and says to insert disk 3 and then it says

😳 Interesting, I tried installing the program through windows. I expected it just to work as a text editor. But I found that it compiles and works. it didn't before. And then I doesn't load from DosBox. Do you think DosBox is responsible for allowing it to work??!!
