yes i do mount a drive.

i started with ...

mount c d:\oldgames

then ....

mount d f:\ -t cdrom -ioctl

so i had tried those steps. it must just be something to do with the game. because it always starts the install that wasn't the issue. i was wondering if i had done something wrong because when you get to the step in the install to choose your drive c:\domain is an invalid hard disk drive and i need to choose a different hard disk and path. that is what it has been and still tells me. so if you can't think of anything else i am going to mark it an issue with the game itself.

thanks for the suggestions 😀
