Hi all. I installed DosBox yesterday and I mounted drive C: no problem at all with that, but I just turned on my computer and it says invalid drive specification so I won't go to my C: drive and start Windows 🙁 What should I do???
Please help thank you.
Huh? DOSBox itself should not have done anything to cause this to happen 😕
How did you mount that C: drive in DOSBox?
What did you do after mounting C: ?

What Operating System are you using? It seems your partition table has gone foobar. You didn't have any virus, did you?
I don't see any reason for DOSBox to be involved. It must be a coincidence, specially if your hardisk is old. Have seen it happen. 😖
The worst thing you could do from a program inside DOSBOX on your physical disc would be to delete files (e.g. if you mounted c: as physical c: and started to delete files, you could delete Windows if you wanted by removing directory "Windows" 😀 ) .
However there is no way how any program from DOSBOX could format or repartion disc ...
In other words: DOSBOX is innocent here... It could have been a virus/another program or just simply your disc being too old (nothing lasts for ever).

Ah, the cries of the technoilliterati. "My computer broke, so it must be your fault!" 😀
Yes, it’s my fault.
