Hello, I am a newbie here. I will be posting in regards to the DosBox program or the games that will be run on it.

I am having a problem with running Gunship 2000 on the DosBox. For those who don't know, Gunship 2000 is the microprose game released in 1991. It is a helicopter combat simulation.

Now to the problem.

I have mounted my floppy as A:, Hard Disk as C:, CDROM as E: Now when i try to install Gunship from the Floppy disk. An error message comes up. The message is...

THE FLOPPY DISK DRIVE A: MUST BE PRESENT DRIVE.

Has anyone had this problem with Gunship 2000 if you own the game. How do I install it into the DosBox.

1.- Post your exact mounting commands here.
2.- Stick to C for hardrive letter and D for CD-ROM letter.
3.- If a game is on floppies, it will probably not need a CD-ROM.

mount c c:\dosgames
A:
