Hi everyone,

I am brand new here so I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong place or if this problem has been answered already.

I don't use Dosbox a huge amount and I am a complete novice using it, but lately there is a game I have been wanting to play but I am having problems even getting it installed! The game is Deep Space Nine Harbinger (if you hadn't guessed from the title) and the problem I am having is as followed:

I have the actual CD's for the game so put them my laptop, mount the correct drive properly, access the install file and start it. I get up to the point where I have to put in the directory for the game to install (which is basically the first part of the installation program), but no matter what I put in it always comes up saying "Cannot Access Drive" and I do not know why.

This happens for the CD and for ISO images I also downloaded, I've tried creating the folder first on my hard drive, running Dosbox as administrator, setting the install file to always run as administrator, even tried plugging in my external USB hard drive to try and install it on there to no avail and I am just at a loss as to what to do.

If anyone could help me with this I would really appreciate it as I have a lot of fond memories of playing this game with my brother when I was younger!

It'd help if you posted the exact command sequence you're using (including mount commands). You mention mounting the correct drive, not 'drives' - did you mount both source and destination drives?
