Hello out there,
running the DOSbox (0.65) I tried to mount drive c
(mount c c:\oldgames)
the only thing i see then is
(directory c doesn't exist)
does anyone know a solution for my problem?
thanks and greetings!
franky
do you actually have that diretory c:\oldgames?
>>do you actually have that diretory c:\oldgames?
well, of couse! otherwise it would be senseless...
it looks like this:
You'd be surprised at what people try...
What is the exact sequence of commands that you're trying to perform in DOSBox? My guess is that after mounting, you're trying to switch to the C: drive by typing something like:
cd c
instead of just:
c:
or:
cd c:\oldgames
instead of:
c:
cd \oldgames
If you got the error 'directory c doesn't exist' you did *not* type 'mount c c:\oldgames'. Maybe a typo, try again.
1+1=10
here is exactly what i wrote:
Z:\> mount c c:\oldgames
here is what DOSb replies:
directory c doesn't exist
i tried it several times - without succcesss
that's it.
hmm weird. The images show that you should be typing the right command.
Could you see if 0.63 got it right ?

How to ask questions the smart way!

try mount c c:\ (risky, but worth a try).

Same procedure, same results..
>>see picture
???
seems to be a strange thing..
I mean use the right :
1+1=10
hal is suggesting that perhaps you are using the | (pipe) character instead of the : (colon) character.
Perhaps you could provide a screenshot of the error in DOSBox so we can see the actual command and error message?
arrrrgghh!!
thats possibly the mistake - my (german) keyboard seems not to be able to create a true colon!
only what you call 'pipe'...
There was another thread on this recently, with a posted solution:
What do I press ?

thanks again for quick responses - you are just great guys!!
wish you all good and the blessing of the mighty LORD JESUS -

yeah in the screenshot it is obvious that when you tried to mount oldgames the : was different to what you "commanded" for mounting c:\windows.
Sorry if my earlier suggestion seemed a bit offensive, but people do try strange things and I've dealt with a couple of those in tech support 😀
