Ok. So I'm a 90's kid. Taught myself to use DOSBox (not super well, mind you) so I could play SimAnt and Oregon Trail (my purchased version of the latter junked out when I upgraded to a 64-bit version of 7).
While I was downloading nostalgia games, I downloaded SimEarth.
I have successfully run SimAnt and feel confident in my ability to follow a Wiki (my success is owed entirely to that) to accomplish things.
When I try to run install.exe for SimEarth, my only options are from drives A or B.
After I select one, I'm offered C through H as destination drives.
When any of them is selected, it returns an error that the drive doesn't have enough room.
How do I get around this? Can I change the options for install destinations? Or redefine them? I had originally mounted the games folder as an A drive, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
I understand that the software I'm working with is not supported, probably. However, my question does center around DOSbox, so any help would be super appreciated.
Thanks!

when you mount the folder you want to use as your C drive, try mounting it using the parameter "-size 504"
