Drives and folders you want to mount need to exist. Please show a screenshot with Explorer showing these drives and folders. What letter does dour CD-Rom drive have? Which operating system do you use?

Methinks you make too many assumptions. Find out for sure what the actual path of your GWBASIC folder is before attempting to mount it.

Edit: i.e., if you open command prompt and type

c:
cd \documents\gwbasic

Would it work? I don't think the Windows 7 directory structure works like this. It's probably something like c:\Users\Your User Name\GWBASIC
