Yeah I've read the whole beginners guide and its the same as the dosbox intro...impossible to understand.

Start from the second chapter of the guide and replicate the examples on your own machine. Don't try to do it all at once, start in a later part of the guide or hurry - it's more important to understand each lesson rather than get to the end faster.

What is the exact part you have problems with? Perhaps I can try explaining it better.

But anyways yeah I managed to run the game through the dosbox but still I cant play it because of some error.

Z:\>Mount D D:\

Z:\> D:

D:\>Games\dukea\duke3d.exe

and then dosbox tries to open the game, starts compiling some files and boom, error.

Like I said before, he first mount should be assigned to letter C. The letter of the real drive the mounted directory is located on is irrelevant, and mounting your games directory is better than mounting the entire drive, just like I said in the guide.
Furthermore, game executables should be ran from within the directory they are installed in rather than remotely - sometimes that alone is sufficient for the executable to refuse to run.

Try:
Mount C D:\games
cd dukea
duke3d
Finally, you keep saying it gives you an error message... post its contents. They'd give us at least a general idea what the real problem is.
