Well those are the easy explanations, you don't want to read the others 😉

Basically they guide you step by step, if you don't understand some step
feel free to ask, same if some step simply doesn't work for you.

Ok, that's fine so far.
Do you remember dos commands? Type "D:" to change to the
d drive (which you just mounted), then type "dir" to see what
files are there. Those should match what is in your
D:\Spill\Settlers2\Settlers2gold
directory.

You need some crash course in ms-dos commands mate.

type d: to change to d drive

then type in the command used for starting the game (bat, com, exe are all executable extensions).

E.G. s2.exe or play.bat
