Sorry about the l8 reply, Ive bin doin a-level xams. It appears that if u simply copy everything 2 the hd n then run it, it all works fine 😊 Cnt bleive it ws sumthin so simple... sorry. Thanks for all the help. The Avidon

The closest I could get was safe mode with command prompt where I got the same error.'This game needs a Hard Drive to run correctly.' Will a boot disk work with XP?

Pure dos on XP...? I'll try using F5 2 get 2 a prompt instead of windows 😀 thx

Its on a single floppy disk... I used to play it on my 386 10 years ago and when I heard about dosbox i thought i would try it out (dnt haf 386 nemore). So I know it worked at one point, why it doesn't install now I don't know. I get the same error trying to install on XP, 98SE and dosbox.

Thx 4 ur help, that is a good idea. Unfortunately, I've tried it and i get the same thing. UFO: Enemy Unknown installer did not install properly with dosdox. Afta installin, ufo.bat refused 2 run n i had 2 install it using windows. Shame it didn't work with goblin. Any more ideas?

Has anyone else had this problem or could my version be corrupt? Thx in advance for any help

When you mounted the cd drive did you say it was a cd-rom using the -t switch? e.g: mount f f:\ -t cdrom

Make sure you mount your c drive as the root as said above but also make sure that you have mounted your cd-rom as a cd-rom by using the -t switch: mount d d:\ -t cdrom or mount e e:\ -t cdrom

When I run the Goblin installation, the installation screen opens and tells me that a HardDrive is required to install the game, press any key to exit. Does anyone know why this happens and what I can do about it? thx
