    I am having problems installing an old game onto dosbox. This is what I have done:
    Open dosbox on the c: drive. Make a new folder named oldgames.
    Open my old game named Pandora. Clicked properties and copyied the target. In the oldgames folder I made a new shortcut and pasted the game Pandora and named it Pandora. I opened dosbox, and mounted c:\oldgames at the Z prompt. Changed Z prompt to C:. I attempted to change directories by entering
    C:\>cd c:\pandora and got an error message: Unable to change to c:\pandora.

    That obviously is the wrong path. How do I get the right path?

    Thank you for your reply.

    The game's probably not compatable with dosbox.


    I don't have any problems mounting dosbox to my C drive.

    Thanks for your advice.
