So, I have been happily playing QFGIV with no problems on DOSbox. However, I am quite unhappily computer illiterate. I completed the game and would like to save my character so I can re-import it and become a Paladin. Unfortunately, every time I try to save the character the program requests that i "insert the disk." of course i'm kicking myself for losing the original cdrom i had as a kid but am grateful for the online dls. the character has to be saved as a .sav file. i feel like the solution is really obvious i just don't know what it is!
advice please!!!???!!! Will give first born child for help! Thanks!!!!

I cannot save my character. I don't think it is a glitch I think I just don't know the procedure. It requires I save the character as a .sav file. I get an error message saying that I need to insert the disk in order to save the character file or that the path I specified does not work. One time I was able to save the character but I could not import it. I have a feeling that this is because I am using a DOS emulator.

DOSbox 0.72

I've read the README. It only applies to people who bought the disk/ cdrom version of the game. I downloaded the game from the internet. Specifically, I got the game off of DOSGAMER.com

Went into DOSbox.conf as an administrator. Typed in (under last heading) MOUNT C "C:\USERS\Dawn\Desktop\New Folder"
c:

pressed save. game is mounted correctly.

As Davros said.

Go ask the nice people who supplied you with the game.
