Read the readme?

My O/S is XP. I installed DOSBox v0.74. I have two folders on real C: named OLDGAMES and DOSBox. I have disk #1 in floppy drive A:. There are four files,(disk.ID, Dat.file, two LBR files and one install icon on disk#1 Z:\> mount a a:\ -t floppy reply: Drive a is mounted as local directory a:\
then Z:\> a:, A:\> install Please select the drive where you wish WW2 to be installed on your machine. There are two options: Drive B: or DriveZ: If I select B:, I get a message saying - unable to access drive B: If I select Drive Z:, I get a message saying you do not have the minimum access rights to drive Z. I tried reading the readme file. I tried reading other posts. I need someone to show me step-by-step.
