enter

mount c .

into autoexec section.

Replace c by the letter you want to be set as this drive.

(Althought, I would recommend to mount your DOS games documents folder as c drive within DOSBox).

mount c .

so you can use

mount c .\dosgames

But don't use it inside "Program Files" forlder in Windows7/Vista - it will not work correct there!

Even if it is without sense to mount c as cdrom, but if it has been requested don't ask why. 😉

The game may want to write some data, but CD-ROM is write-protected by its nature...
