I need to load Supercalc 5 (SC5) in order to retrieve some old information.

The load will be from floppy drive A and I have managed to mount this.

The load starts but then asks for a drive, but only offers Z.

I have created a directory on C called SC5.

Where have I gone wrong?

You need to tell DOSBox about the SC5 folder you created. Use a command like:

mount C "C:\whereever\you\put\that\SC5-folder"

Yeah you need to mount a "C drive" just as you mounted the floppy. I usually make a folder in the DOSBOX directory called "hdd" and mount it with a relative path as below:

mount c ./hdd
