When I copy a file from a mounted CD-ROM drive to a mounted Dosbox drive, the file copies, but does not appear in the listing when I do a directory on the destination drive. I can see the file in Windows Explorer, and it shows up when I mount the drive as a different one (or restart Dosbox); but it's totally invisible during the current session. This is preventing me from installing Dark Forces from the original CD, as it continually returns an error message that it can't create the installation folder.

I'm running WinXP Pro SP2, with NTFS drives, if that makes a difference.

Hmm, try typing rescan after copying the file. Then it should show up.

As for Dark Forces....whenever I use Dark Forces with dosbox I have to manually copy the DF folder off the CD to the hard drive. Also make sure you take read-only off of the files that you copy.
