anyway I did answer the question:
"here's my problem
if i mount to d, i can't open things in c without changing the directory to c, or is it still mounted in d, maybe i'm wrong and just got confused but i'm pretty sure it gets out of d to redirect it to c:
i'm not trying to play a game on the disk, the disk is needed to run these games on my computer
everything is already configured i believe the sound and everything there's no conflicting drivers or anything it's just that it won't open the games because apparently it can't find the disk even when the disk is inserted
let me try it one more time, maybe it'll work in dosbox i don't know
thanks
it still didn't work, says "disk not found"
i'd say my computer is messed up, but the disk will work on it's own, really weird, huh?"
for the configuration, it configured it automatically
as for how I opened it, previously to reading your instructions i just directed the command such as cd\
upon opening the command prompt so it switches to c:\
and the cd sw as to where my shadow warrior games are kept in the folder and then for the game i was trying to open wanton destruction i just typed wanton.exe so it would look like this:
c:\sw\wanton.exe
i believe that's how it'd look
when I used dosbox i just mounted it the way it said in your instructions
i mounted it from d
and then it didn't appear as though the directory was switched so what I ended up doing was i tried to remount it and it said drive d: was already mounted
so I guess i hit 'mount d "d:\" -t' I believe was the whole command, god, maybe that wasn't it exactly i thought it was
then it said I had to hit c: to redirect the command to a folder in c:
that part confused me, but upon trying to remount to d: from there it said d: was already mounted so i just continued to direct to sw and then from there to open wanton.exe and then from there it told me the disk is not found and it's missing the level $dozer.map and all the games tell me that the disk is not found or that the game isn't ibm compatible because the original game isn't found etc.
the sound and video work fine with the original game, I can play the original game installed on my computer from the disk as long as the disk is in the drive
