I followed the installation step by step and I have the drive mounted, but when it comes time for me to "cd MightAndMagic.1987" it tells me "Unable to change to: MightAndMagic.1987"

Any help would be appreciated, thanks![/quote]

Dos only handles lengths of 8.3 for filenames and directories.
For example 12345678.123
So Mightandmagic.1987 is waaaaay too long.
Try something shorter.
