Title says it all, it does show up. When i mount my usb-floppy, it does. I've tried every variation i can think of, both mouting order or options, i just cant get it to work. Thing is, on my last pc (which was running xp) it did! I know, it's not a big deal, since i can type my way down the cdrom, it just makes me MAAAAAAAAD because i know that somehow it did once! TIA

Typo, it does not So far i've tried: - mouting cdrom in autoexec first, then starting nc - first nc, then mount w/o quitting nc - starting nc, quitting it, mounting, starting nc again - mounting cdrom, running some exe on it, starting nc and some other variations i cant remember... Plus, ive tried all the command line options as described in the dosbox-wiki Quote: You can "type down to it" in Norton Commander, or what? Excuse my poor english, i meant manually by dos command line ("cd.." n stuff), so games will run @Dominus: Brings up the drives, just e: is not shown althought its mounted

Try mounting as d instead and see whether that works. _________________ Windows 3.1x guide for DOSBox 60 seconds guide to DOSBox DOSBox SVN snapshot for OS X (10.4-10.8 ppc/intel) codesigned for gatekeeper

I've tried NC 1.0, 3.0, 5.5, and Volkov Commander 4.05 (NC clone) with cdroms MOUNTed and IMGMOUNTed with various drive letters, and have no problems seeing and selecting the drives. The app doesn't seem picky about drives in the least. DOSBox's Z: drive is also in the drive list, so could indicate a drive letter limit of some kind if Z: isn't showing up.

Btw, this has nothing to do with your problem but games seem to like it best if c is the hard drive and d the CD-Rom, so best do mount d e:\ -t cdrom But as I wrote, it has nothing to do with your problem... _________________ Windows 3.1x guide for DOSBox 60 seconds guide to DOSBox DOSBox SVN snapshot for OS X (10.4-10.8 ppc/intel) codesigned for gatekeeper

ripsaw8080 DOSBox Author Joined: 2006-04-25 Posts: 2903	If you don't see the Z: drive, is cdrom even relevant to the issue? i.e. does a second HD mounted as D: show up? NC 1.0 has no problem seeing drive letters after C: regardless of drive type. The version you have seems to fall between the 1.0 (1986) and 3.0 (1989) versions I've tried, but it's strange that it has the issue you describe while the others do not... nc1.png (6.53kB) - Viewed 1190 Time(s)

I'll try getting a different version tomorrow, but now i'll go catch some sleep! And i'm going to find a xp-machine, since i'm 100% sure it worked back there with this version.
