I was setting up Daggerfall yesterday, and absent-mindedly used the auto-detect function to configure music and sound. Only after I had already done this, did I notice the warning:

"If this machine contains a SCSI hard disk it is unadvisablle to proceed with the auto detection process as data loss can occur"

As far as I know, I am using a SATA hard drive. However, I was running Daggerfall on Dosbox 0.72 in a Windows Vista x64 system, and I had my entire C:\ drive mounted at the time (I know this is not recommended).

Has any data loss occurred from my use of auto-detect? I checked my files and they seem ok, but can't really be sure. I'd be grateful for any input--thanks.

No problem. DOSBox can't access your hardware in a dangerous manner.

Except you do a "mount c c:"
