I have downloaded DosBox, but am unable to install Daggerfall from CD (through DosBox) due to the problem that it does not see any install drives when prompted.

I have tried to manually install, but using XP renders this unusable

can anyone help?

I remember having some problems with Daggerfall too. I think I managed to install it with VDMSound.

It doesn't see any install drives? Isn't it possible to just mount an empty folder as C: ?

well maybe the next version will help you.
I added some missing (rarely used) dos calls which could be used as a disk detection system.

But as I do not have daggerfall cdrom I have no idea if this solves it.

I tried today Daggerfall CD in the current CVS, having mounted C as harddisk, D as CD-ROM, using minimal installation in Daggerfall installation program - no problem at all. 😀 I did not test 0.61.

So wait for the next version.
