Daggerfall Installation Help » Sun Apr 03, 2011 1:46 pm I'm trying to install Daggerfall and I'm on step 11 where it says: 'Once the two locations are mounted, at the command prompt type: D:, then push enter and the prompt will change to D:.'

Creating a dos folder

Before you do anything with DOSBox you should set up a folder to act as your c: drive. Its not necessary but it will make your life about 1000 times easier. Its best to make it in your home folder and name it something simple. Mine is called dos. It doesn't really matter what you call it, just avoid spaces and anything really lengthy. Note that this is completely separate from your DOSBox installation. Its just a place to keep your shit.

Extracting Daggerfall

Now that you have your dos folder set up you need to put things in it. You're going to want to move the Daggerfall zip you downloaded previously to your dos folder. Once you've got that done, right click the zip file and choose 'Extract here'. This should take a few seconds and once completed you should have three new files in your dos folder: DAGGER, DFCD, and a pdf.

Setting up your virtual C: drive

You can skip this if you want but it will save you a lot of typing later on. Before we move into DOSBox we want to edit the config so it automatically sets our dos folder as the C: drive. If you don't want to have to mount the Daggerfall CD every time you play it, you can also set it to mount automatically. To do this, go to your C: drive, Program Files, and look for DOSBox-[version number]. Open up the file DOSBox Options.bat. It should open a notepad window with the config file in it. Scroll to the bottom of the page and you should find a section called 'autoexec'. Below this we can add our commands to be used every time DOSBox starts.

Type the following below 'autoexec':

mount c C:UsersYour Usernamedos -freesize 1000

This will mount your dos folder as the c: drive with 1000mb of free space every time DOSBox starts.

If you want to mount the Daggerfall cd as well type the following below the previous command:

mount d C:UsersYour UsernamedosDFCD -t cdrom -label Daggerfall
