Ok, so I downloaded DosBox in order to play 'Museum Madness' - which is a CD-Rom Dos game from '93, and I was able to mount the cd rom drive in which the game disk is placed in. However each time I go to install the game (I select ‘install exe’ in the command prompt window. Then I'm prompted to select a drive to install the game: Drive 'C' and Z), I always get the following message:

“You do not appear to have the minimum access rights to Drive C, which are required for installation. Press Esc to abort, any other key to continue.”

I'm not exactly good when it comes to moding and compatibilty issues, so maybe I inadvertenly did something wrong (or worse - Museum Madness just isn't compatible with the DosBox) Listed below are some of my pc's specs, and hopefully somebody out there can help.

Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHZ
510 MB of ram
Intel 82865G Graphics Controller
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
1078 X 768 (32 bit) (75Hz)
DosBox 0.72

Museum Madness Installation Program
This program will install Museum Madness on your computer. You may press the ESC key at any time to stop the installation. You will be asked several questions about where you want to install Museum Madness on your computer. Each question has a suggested answer. If our suggestions are okay with you (and in most cases they should be), just press the ENTER key when you see each question. Press ESC to to quit, any other key to continue.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the drive to install Museum Madness on and press ENTER:

Drive E
Drive Z

*Trying either drive results in this:*
PRESS ANY KEY
You do not appear to have the minimum access rights to drive E: which are required for installation. Press the ESC key to abort, any other key to continue.

I've also tried replacing E drive with the C,D and G (I have an external drive) drive, even going as far as to copying the game files onto the C drive and have repeated the above steps but to no avail.

That means, the installer hasn't found a drive C: before where it wants to install?
