First off, apologize if this isn't in the right area, did my best to determine.

I am pretty new to Linux and installed dosbox, but here's my question. I know how to mount very easily in Windows, as mount C C:\dosgames for example. In Linux, I have my Dosgames on my primary C drive in the Windows partition, my main drive is split into two, one for Ubuntu and one for Windows. How would I go about mounting my C:\Dosgames from Windows into Linux?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah that's the problem I had, I don't really know how to figure out the exact path to the drive. My Drive is named NX-R Velociraptor, but, I know Linux usually labels like /dev1/sda or something...if I could just get someone that knows exactly how to figure it out. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 Unity interface for those wanting to know.

Either ubuntu automounts it and it is a vlume in /volumes or you need to figure this out first by reading ubuntu documentation. It *needs* to be mountd first before dosbox can mount it. If it is a ntfs formatted drive you need to configure read/write access too.
