Preliminary Info:

I have read the DOSBox FAQ but after implementing the suggested fix (mount d f:\ -t cdrom) I still have a cdrom recognition problem.

# Motherboard ASUS
# Processor Intel Pentium 4 - 3 GHz
# RAM 3 GB
# OS Windows XP pro SP3
# Game name Civilization v. 474.04 (installed in G:\CIVI)

History:

Civilization (Civ I) was working for quite a while, but then started to crash on clicking the "CHANGE" (production) button in the City Display.

Then I installed DOSBox 0.74 and set "fullscreen" to 'true'. I was able to take screen shots of my City Display to show the problem in Civ I.

To fix this I uninstalled both Civ I and DB. Then I got a new error msg: MSCDEX not installed. I learned that now DOSBox does not recognize my cd player. So now I run this command:

mount h d:\ -t cdrom

DOSBox then installs MSCDEX. But even with the Civ I disc in the H drive it cannot find the drive.

(Secondary question: I have drives C, D ('D' is a partition on the main HD), E & F (two Plextor SCSI CD's), G (500 GB WD HD), and H (an LG CD and where the Civ disc is located). So doesn't designating the actual drive H as the virtual drive 'D' conflict with my actual D drive, which is a partition on the main HD?)
