And i have already try with D-Fend Program, with that program it's ok for the detect of cd but when i use D-Fend i have many bug and the game is not playable.

try adding a label to the cd drive.

I don't need to set a label when playing Warcraft 2, i doo need a -ioctl though.
And the

1mount c c:\war2

, change that to

1mount C C:\

as executing the previous mount-command causes the game to be directly in the base of the mounted virtual drive and some games really don't like it.
The only problem with my suggestion to mount C C:\ is that then DOSBox has full acces to your harddrive, corrupt games might just corrupt some files on your harddrive and as it has full acces to the harddrive, everything can happen. To fix this, just copy the entire C:\war2 directory to C:\DOSBOXC\War2 using the Windows Explorer.
Then do the harddrive mount like this : mount C C:\DOSBOXC. By doing this DOSBox only has acces to the DOSBOXC directory. I must admit that I myself also mount the full C though.

I open dosbox and writing: […]

I open dosbox and writing:

mount c c:\war2
mount e e:\ -t cdrom
c:
war2

and i have the message again, at this line:

mount e e:\ -t cdrom

What does it say when typing the mount for you CD-Rom?

Also, you could try out newer frontends like D.O.G. or DBGL. These have all the new features for DOSBOx 0.70

D.O.G. 1.53 supports 0.70 and is in its release state (Still making it more user friendly)
DBGL 0.54 is also compatible with 0.70

I'm not 100% sure (can't test it right now), but I think Warcraft II has some problems with a CD-ROM drive "E:".
Have you tried "mount d E:\ -t cdrom -ioctl"?
And you should follow ErikGG's advice and make a special DOSBox folder where you install your DOS games into. Just to make sure you don't kill your whole Windows installation by accident.

Everyone seems to have different suggestions 😀 My suggestion is to undo / delete what you have done so far, and reinstall the game using my 60 seconds guide.

Hello, i have try with D.O.G. and it's work.
Dosbox+D.O.G. = I can play the game
I can finally play to warcraft2.
Thanks you to all of you for your help

Glad it works,

One warning though if your using 1.53, don't use the music drive. It is built in the Experimental 1.53 version of D.O.G. but it is still in its alpha stage. If used with DOSBox 0.70 then the SDL.dll will be corrupted.

By the end of next week I'll release the 1.53 version officially. It will be the current 1.53 version with some improvements occording to Internet Mouses and Keyboards. It also has some more bugfixes in it. And a HUGE load of more userfriendlyness. The music drive will then only be present in the experimental build of D.O.G. 1.54.

Features for D.O.G. 1.54
- Cue file generator and ISO/MP3 ripper
- Joy2Key feature.
- Mapper file builder.
- Customizeable columns. Allows people to add more columns then there where in the previous D.O.G.'s.
- And so on and on (Let me know if I'm missing some feature you like.)

Have fun,

Erik.

A lot of people seem to be having a problem with this so I made a step by step tutorial for it, which you can read here http://www.geocities.com/onyxsoulrpg/dosbox.html

Feel free to pass it on.

The tutorial is fine and all, but here's a big, fat warning:

DO NOT MOUNT THE ROOT OF YOUR C:\ DRIVE IN DOSBOX!

The reason is simple: by mounting your real c:\ drive as the emulated c:\ drive, the emulator (DOSBox) has full write access to your real c:\ drive, and all directories on it. If anything goes wrong inside the emulation, or if a malicious program writes to c:\, your data could be destroyed, deleted or damaged. It is _very_ simple to work around this: just create a special directory for mounting DOSBox's virtual c:\ drive to.

Step by step:
- In windows, create a new special DOSBox directory. This directory can be anywhere on your harddisk(s). Example: use explorer to create c:\DOSPrograms or d:\DOSPrograms (in ErikGG's example above, that directory is called DOSBOXC).
- Inside DOSBox, mount the directory you have just created as the virtual c:\ drive. To do this, type "mount c: c:\DOSPrograms".

That's it. DOSBox will use the directory you have mounted as a virtual c:\ drive. The risk of data loss or corruption is now minimal, because there's only DOSBox-related data in this directory, and DOSBox has no write access "outside" this directory.

If you have already installed games to your real c:\ drive, simply move the directory holding the game (in this case, it could be c:\WAR2) to the DOSBox directory you have created. If you mount that directory in DOSBox, as i have described, the game's data will still be in c:\WAR2 for DOSBox.

The whole concept of virtual directories is a bit confusing at first, but you'll soon understand it, it's quite logical. There's absolutely no reason to use the real c:\ drive for mounting.

Yes, nice image-guided tutorial.

Another thing to mention is that the usecd parameter is zerobased,
so if you have one cdrom (your case) you should use "-usecd 0"
(if i don't mess up totally with this).

I like ADDiCT's added guide on why not to mount c:\ and what to do instead. I have to remember that one for future reference (instead of writing it myself) 😀
