Hello,
I'm having a problem installing DESCENT 2 via DOSBOX. While at the DOS prompt in DOSBOX, I type:
mount c c:\dos
mount d g:\ -t cdrom

I switch to d: and run setup but an error message says that the Descent2 cd must be present to run setup. The cd is in the drive.
Windows sees my drive. Nothing spooky there. Any taKERS??

Copy the cdrom to an ISO or BIN/CUE and use the following mount commands:

mount c c:\dos
imgmount d "c:\iso\Descent2\DESCENT_II.cue" -t iso -fs iso
