Hi.

New to Dosbox (using 0.71) on Ubuntu Linux.

It works great, and has resurrected some old games.

I have a problem when trying to IMGMOUNT, either from the command line or from the conf file.

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount c /home/nick/dos
mount d /media/cdrom0 -t cdrom
imgmount e "/home/nick/dos/dk.iso" -t iso -fs iso
c:

I changed the name from a long-winded one with spaces.

I continually get

MSCDES: Failure: Path not valid.

I have tried imgmount e c:\dk.iso and I have tried with and without quotes, and I have tried with and with -fs iso (but always with -t iso).

I have rad the imgmount readme, and did a forum search for imgmount, and read through the relavent posts from the 11 pages of results. A lot of people have had similar problems, and I have tried the pertinent fixes, but to no avail.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong, or could it be a corrupt iso that I am going to have to re-image?

Cheers,

Nick.

I have never ever used that -fs option. Had to check the README to see what it was about. I doubt it is needed if the image is from a CD.

I think you are correct in suspecting a corrupt image.

Or - it could be a HD-image in FAT(16?) or some Linux format that DOSBox do not know how to handle. In that case, you should be able to mount it with

imgmount 2 "~/dos/dk.iso" -t hdd
or
imgmount 2 "~/dos/dk.iso" -t hdd -f none

But it won't be of much use to you.

I've just tried opening the iso with another app, and can confirm that the image is "corrupt or unreadable".

Thank you both for the help; I'm off to re-rip and see if that helps.

Cheers.
