Hi to all.

I followed the 60 seconds guide from a thread that I read here. I made a folder in my C drive where I would install the game from DOSbox 0.73. And then I mounted my game image onto a virtual E drive. Using dos box, I mounted C drives and E drives simultaneously as told in the guide. I then installed the game from my E drive into the folder in my C drive, so the game was installed.

When I tried to play the game however using DosBox, the sound was working and everything, but it still said 'No CD'. I have no idea what to do. Can someone please help me I have not played this great game since I was 8, I'm now 19 so you can see how badly I want to play it for the memories.

Important information:

I don't have a CD, just a virtual image.
I followed the guide and mounted both drives, and switched to E drive to install
I made a designated folder in my C drive where I wanted the game to be installed to.
My virtual drive is 'E' using Daemon tools.
In installation, I set the installation directory to 'C\user... ect ect' basically to my folder.
After installation however, Dosbox freezes so I have to close it, I don't know why. Game is installed into my folder though.

Thanks in advance.

This is confusing. Did you mount C:\user\whatever as drive C in DOSBox, or did you run the installer in Windows, or what?

What exactly did you mount?

It means I installed the game to the directory which I first created in C drive - for the game.

But don't worry I got it working, I forgot to mount my virtual image at -t cdrom to act as a CD.

30 mins ago I did not have a clue how to use Dosbox, now I can use it to play some truely great games, funny how humans have an insane capacity to learn but don't utilize it for the better of the human race eh?

Thanks for the great guide.
