Alright, I tried searching for this problem and looked through what I found, but to no avail. I've been trying to install my old copy of Dragonsphere but it says I have no available space to install to.
I've mounted c: drive with a gigabyte of space as well as my d: drive as the cdrom, but it still won't recognize that there is discspace...any ideas of how it'll recognize an area with space to install?

Any help would be seriously appreciated 😀

Z:> C:

Maybe the size is too big? Tried with something like 200, or 300 MB?

I assume you have tried it with less than a gigabyte also? Many old programs do not work correctly with such large volumes. Try setting it to a lot less, like 100Mb.

Unfortunately, I cannot find Dragonsphere for download on-line, so I cannot test whether I have the same problem.
