OK, I have an original 2 disk copy of "The 7th Guest" that I can run normally through DOSBox as long as the disks are in the CDRom drive. However, since the disks are not copy protected, what I wanted to do was copy the files off of the two disks into a SINGLE folder on my C drive and tell DOSBox to boot from there, mounting the same folder as both the C and D drives so that I can run the game without actually needing to put the disks in the drives.
I tried to just copy/paste them into the same folder, but there are some files with the same names and different data sizes between the two disks. During the copy/paste, I opted to keep the larger of any duplicate files and overwrite the lesser at first. I also tried keeping both with different names on a second attempt. Both ended up at the problem below.
Now, here is the problem: The game starts up just fine, but I can't get past the "Insert Disk 1" intro screen! Even though the D drive is mounted to the folder on my C drive where all the files from both game disks are kept, it still won't run without the disk in the actual D Drive (cdrom drive).
I am using DOSBox 0.74. Here are my PC laptop specs:
Toshiba Satellite L755D
Processor: AMD A6-3400M APU with RADEON HD Graphics 1.40GHz
RAM: 4GB
64 Bit Operating System.
There has got to be a way to combine the files from the 2 disks into one file which I can boot from without needing the physical disks. If anyone knows how to do this, please help me.
Thanks!
