Whenever I start DOSBox and open the mounted diskdrive before Fallout starts I get the following error, see the screenshot.
This happens in DOSBox 0.65, 0.70 and 0.71.
After pressing cancel "Annuleren" then fallout starts without any problem.
Erik.
opening a mounted drive ? Is that actually possible in windows ?
In linux the tray won't open.

Seems so,
Just tried it again in 0.71 and it can be opened.

Might be interresting in this situation :
Windows 2000 SP4
Tried IOCTL and no options for the CDRom device.

Windows doesn't lock the CD drives as Linux does.
1+1=10
I'm using the folowing function to lock the cdrom drive while extracting the audio from a game disk in my experiental Audio extractor.
procedure NTStyleTrayLock(Device: THandle; Lock: Boolean);
var
Dummy : Cardinal;
PMR : TPREVENT_MEDIA_REMOVAL;
begin
if Lock then
PMR.PreventMediaRemoval := 1
else
PMR.PreventMediaRemoval := 0;
DeviceIoControl(Device, IOCTL_STORAGE_MEDIA_REMOVAL, @PMR,
sizeof(PMR), nil, 0, Dummy, nil);
end;
Erik.
not sure if that is a good idea. Under linux it is quite hard to change cdroms when in dosbox, because of this locking.

I wouldn't lock it too as I would like to keep this functionality, freedom over the CD-Rom (Swapping disks using CTRL-F4).
