This deals with mounting of CD-ROM drives in DosBox.

Also, you seem to assume that DosBox functions like a driver and automatically starts when trying to run DOS software. It does not - you first have to start the emulator and then run the game from inside it.

If the game has both Windows and Dos versions, try running the Windows one with Compatibility Mode for Windows 95. To set this, right-click on the exec, select [PROPERTIES] then go to [COMPATIBILITY] tab.

An alternative is to use VDMSound (downloadable from our programs page). It's a bit simpler then DosBox and takes less system resources but may not work for some games.

In other words: keep trying, and if you have any further questions, don't be afraid to ask.

So, i made this fancy reply with screenshots and all that, and i manage to click the 'X' instead of "_", so i can't really be arsed again :P

I tried all the commands here and it says: "MSCDEX: Failure: Drive-letters of multiple CDRom-drives have to be continuous. Drive D already mounted with CDRom."

So i figured it might've been mounted properly as it said it's already mounted.
Since one of the three exe files are the windows one, i didn't try it. The result of trying the first DOS file (called dos4gw), gives me the message: "dos/4gw fatal error (1004): syntax is DOS4GW
The size of dos4gw is 265,420.

Now i tried the last .exe file, which's quite big compared to the other ones (1, 692, 438). At first i get the copyright textes and stuff, and then it tells me to put in the CDrom in the CD-drive.
