I got one box with a 5.25" drive. My computer recognizes the 5.25 drive as A:\. I am running windows xp pro.

When I start up dosbox I run:

mount b a:\

Then I install a game. I noticed that when it asks for disk 2 I put it in and hit enter, and the program doesn't recognize the disk and thinks that I haven't put it in. It keeps asking to put in disk 2.

On another box I have a 3.5" drive. I am running windows xp pro and the drive is recognized as A:\. I start up dosbox and run:

mount a a:\

I install a game, and still the same issue, when it prompts me to enter disk 2, it never recognizes the disk.

This has happened to me on two games, Stunt Island and Colonel's Bequest. Is this a known issue?

You need to press CTRL-F4 after putting another disc in the drive. Then continue with the installation.

Works great, just curious what it does.

It refreshes mounts, afaik if you'd used the -t floppy switch for the mount command you hadn't need to hit ctrl-f4
