hey, i'm trying to run some old games that i use to play as a kid, and i thought i knew what i was doing, but apparently i don't.

i followed the instructions and got the program mounted properly, but for some reason, when trying to open the directory, it just says that it is unable to change the directory.

this makes me sad. and i don't know how to fix it.

can anyone help me out?

How are you sure you mounted EVERYTHING properly?

Are you still at the Z: prompt? Did you forgot to change drive?

yeah, i did it properly.

Z:\>mount C C:\OldGames
Drive C is mounted as local directory C:\OldGames\

Z:\>C:

C:\>cd games
Unable to change to: games.

*shrugs*

the file i am trying to open is a colletion of several games, but i thought that wouldn't make a difference since it should just open the directory anyways, right?

Try using the dir command to see what's in the virtual C:\ directory before trying to cd to games.
