Not to insult anyone or sound stupid, I'm just curious. I'm also not sure if it's been asked (although I did search for it). If it has been I'm sorry and please direct me to where. But I was wondering what the harm of mounting hard drives is. I know that there is harm, but what specifically is it? Why don't older versions of dosbox give as direct a warning as the newer ones?

I personally don't mount hard drives, I mount the game's directory on the root directory (I.E: C:\Alien for Alien Logic, C:\BodyWorks for BodyWorks Voyager), although I do place the games folders in the root instead of an oldgames folder unless if it comes from a certain company which I have other games from (C:\Sierra\KQ6CD for King's Quest 6, C:\Maxis\SimAnt for SimAnt).

But I was wondering about this. Thanks in advanced guys! And thanks for understanding an ignorant question.
