I have researched this in the forum, and found a string that sort of answered the question, and am posting this one to gather some more information...
Ok... the problem i have is when i attempt to install the 7th guest, i recieve the "CD#2 isnt in the drive" error. I followed the instructions (admittadly, probably wrong) given by Ripsaw8080 as follows:
You can get around the problem by "manually" installing. Copy all the files in the \T7G\INSTALL folder on disc 2 into an install […]
You can get around the problem by "manually" installing. Copy all the files in the \T7G\INSTALL folder on disc 2 into an installation folder on your mounted C drive. Then create a file in your installation folder called GROOVIE.INI with the following contents:
Code:

VideoCard=VESA
midi=SoundBlasterPro2
pcm=SoundBlasterPro2

dma=1Change the ProgDir and DataDir paths to reflect your setup. Now when you run the INSTALL.EXE in the installation folder, it should only reconfigure the settings rather than do a full file-copy install because the config file is there. The config data I've posted here is from the original install, so definitely re-confgure for the settings you want to use with the newer installer; but using this as a starting point should get you going.
Ok, tried that, and when i run the install from the mounted C: drive, it states "type t7g to play". when I do, i recieve the error "Cannot load sound driver"
soooo... here is how i mount everything (i admit, i am not the greatest at this and if anyone could help me out with this it would be appreciated)
Z:\mount c C:\dosgames
Z:\mount d E:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl
and this is probably where i screwed up:
created a folder in dosgames called "install"
copied contents of said folder there.
made file groovie.ini with notepad (cutnpasted above text, edited progdir and datadir to "C:\INSTALL\install" (minus quotes, and this is where im unsure)
Other than that... im completely lost... i have the origional cds, and cant get them to install using the afforementioned mounting specs...
any help? or am i just out of my tree?
Thanks in advance...
