Most of you seem to have been into DOSbox for a while... So I hope I can get a good answer to my questions

As most of you know, DOSbox is like the DOS, and requires commands in order to work, and I never really learned to operate in DOS.

So, my first question is: Why does it start in Z:? (That I don't have)
How do I change to C: ?

I want to start Constructor, I do not know if it is going to work, but I'll find out.

The game.exe is located at C:/Program/Const
What command can I use to get there?

I would really appreciate som help here... the classics have been rejected by XP for to long now! 😉

Z: is a 'fake' drive which is the host of some internal DOSBox programs.

In order to go to your C drive you need to mount it.

You can do this with the following command:

mount c c:\

This will allow you to access your C drive as C: in DOSBox. Check out the DOSBox README.

Yep, basically what Mabus said above.
After you mount it..
Just type C: and hit [ENTER] and from there go to your program like you used to do in MS-DOS.
Very Simple and Always Read All Documentation.. Like you're suppose to 😉.
