Hi,

I'm trying to load 11th hour, and have created a dosbox drive etc, all seems to be OK, except that the game wishes to transfer a few files onto my drive. Obviously the dosbox drive has only been created large enough for the actual game files - is there anyway that I can add some free space to the created dosbox drive?

Thanks in anticipation

The DOSBox "drive" will always show the same amount of free space, even if there is no space left on the host hard drive it will always show the same amount.

If you want to show a larger free size value to the programs you run in DOSBox then you must use the -freesize switch when you mount your virtual C as documented in the README.

Search the forum next time before asking what has been already asked a million times.

Hint: Look for -freesize in the readme.
