Ok Forgive me if I'm not using the correct language, i'm a newbie and learning.

First I'll explain what I did then I'll show the error i'm getting

I have an ISO image(or whatever its called) of Kyrandia Book 1

I have two folders under my C: drive that i'm using for game files, this is proabably a messy and undnecessary way of doing things but it helped me fix other issues in a way that was simple to me
1st folder is dosgames: in this i have the iso image and game files
2nd Folder is kyrandia: this starts as a blank folder

In Dos Box I did the following

Z:\> imgmount D "c:\dosgames\book1.iso" -t iso
MSCDEX installed
Drive D is mounted as c:\dosgames\book1.iso

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

Z:\>d:
D:\>Install

this brings me to Kyrandia installation menu
1 for English

Source Disk:D
Destination Disk: C
Destination directory
C:\WESTWOOD\KYRACD

Installation Successful. Press any key

Then it goes to setup but i don't i need to post all this as my prob does not lie with sound etc

After Setup it goes back and I see

C:\WESTWOOD\KYRACD>

I type in "main"

This loads the game and everything is fine and dandy unitll I exit and try to load the game again.

back in Dos Box

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

Z:\>C:
C:\>Westwood\kyracd\main

The Legend of Kyrandia, Version 3.7

The setup must be run first.

After this I tried various things one being
c:\> mount D c:\dosgames
Drive D is mounted as local directory c:\dosgames
c:\> d:
d:\>setup
i go through it
then after it looks funky and you can read this
copying main.exe from cd... IO error with Main.exe (2) exiting

I can sort of resolve the problem by deleting all the files in c:\kyrandia using Windows exploer than doing the whole process again, with installing again etc, but my save games are gone so the point of reopening that way is useless.

So is there any way to resolve all of this so I can play, save and exit then later come back to my computer load my game and play from where I left off.

It seems your forgot to mount ISO image again. It may be needed for reading data from CD.
