I just bought this game called Shattered Steel and I downloaded DOS Box to get it to work. I have successfully learned to mount C: where the game is located in my Hard Disk Drive. I also learned to mount the game cd as a cdrom and installed it after mounting it. The game launches just fine and the menu select works just fine, but when I go to start a campaign it goes to the deploying screen, loading screen, and it asks me to insert Shattered Steel CD and kicks me back to the previous menu.

Keep in mind that both the cdrom is mounted and the game is being launched from the c drive and it is mounted as well.

Any suggestion?

Might be able to help if you post your folder structure and all the commands you typed.

SSTEEL.exe

File Scructure:

D:\ it is the cdrom

Thanks for the response.

I'm guessing that you used "mount c c:\DOS\DOS" when you installed it and the game thinks it went to C:\INTR\SSTEEL.

Try
mount c c:\DOS\DOS
mount d d:\ -t cdrom
c:\
cd INTR
cd SSTEEL
SSTEEL.exe

The commands can be placed in the autoexec section of the conf file for convenience.

Or possibly,
mount c c:\DOS
and the game thinks it went to C:\DOS\INTR\SSTEEL to explain the double DOSes.

Either way, you should use the same commands as when you installed it.

I tried those commands, but it didn't work. Same results, and I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game a few times. I did find out something though, I tried installing it as DOS\INTRPLAY\SSTEEL and I could not get it to run at all, but when I installed it as DOS\GAMES\INTRPLAY\SSTEEL it will load the game but does what I originally stated, it will not load the mission because it thinks the CD is not there even though I mounted and installed it from the cd.

I got it working after a few things I tried. I thought that DOSbox could work on a virtual machine with no problem, but it only works on the host machine. Thanks for your help.
