Hello, stiffla.

Please post here all exacts commands you used for mounting all drives under DOSBox as well as any error messages you are getting for the game.

It sounds like you mounted your virtual cdrom but not your virtual hard drive.

You need to specify a "C:" drive in DosBox so that your game can install.

Ex: "Mount c c:\DOSGAMES"

Assuming that you have a "DOSGAMES" directory off of your C:\.

any chance you can talk me through it on how to set it up please

Create a folder named OLDGAMES on your C drive from Windows Explorer.

After that, start up DOSBox.

Z:\>mount c c:\oldgames

Z:\>mount d d:\ -t cdrom {assuming second d letter is your real cd letter. If not, replace it}

Z:\>d:

D:\>install.exe (or setup.exe or install.bat or whatever. Issue a dir command to find out.)

{when prompted for installation destination, choose drive C. Installation will probably create a folder F2B in it}

{After installation is finished. It will probably redirect you to...}

C:\F2B\>

If not...

D:\>c:

C:\>cd f2b

C:\F2B\>f2b

That's it.
