84.158.44.22: /* Linux */

'''MOUNT.COM''' is a command inside DOSBox that can connect physical folders and drives to [[Drives|virtual drives]] inside DOSBox. When you enter the command MOUNT from the DOSBox prompt you should see
<code><pre>Z:\>MOUNT
Current mounted drives are:
Drive Z is mounted as Internal Virtual Drive</pre></code>

To mount a folder as a drive, follow this basic template.
<code><pre>MOUNT [Drive-Letter] [Local-Directory]</pre></code>

The local directory can be specified relative to the working directory from which DOSBox was started.

To unmount a drive, follow this basic template.
<code><pre>MOUNT -u [Drive-Letter]</pre></code>

= Usage Examples =

== Windows ==
=== Mounting a folder from your harddrive ===
<code><pre>Z:\>MOUNT C C:\DOSGAMES</pre></code>

=== Mounting a floppy drive ===
<code><pre>Z:\>MOUNT A A:\ -t floppy</pre></code>

=== Mounting a CD-Rom drive ===
<code><pre>Z:\>MOUNT D D:\ -t cdrom</pre></code>

=== Extra CD ROM options ===
-t [floppy|cdrom] Define how the mounted folder should behave to the emulated operating system.
-usecd [drive #] For direct hardware emulation ie: audio playback, etc.
-cd = Generate a list of local CD ROM drive's "drive #" values
-label [name] = Set the volume name of the drive (all caps)
-ioctl = Lowest level of hardware access (Win 2K, XP and Linux)...follows the -usecd command

Z:\>MOUNT D D:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl -label GAME_CD

=== Mounting an ISO-File as volume ===
<code><pre>Z:\>IMGMOUNT E C:\Images\MyImage.iso -t iso</pre></code>

== Linux ==
<code><pre>Z:\>MOUNT C ~/DOSGAMES</pre></code>

<code><pre>Z:\>MOUNT D /MEDIA/CDROM/ -T CDROM</pre></code>

<code><pre>Z:\>IMGMOUNT E ~/IMAGES/MYIMAGE.ISO -T ISO</pre></code>

== Mac OSX ==
<code><pre>Z:\>MOUNT C ~/DOSGAMES</pre></code>
<code><pre>Z:\>IMGMOUNT D ~/Documents/IMAGE.toast -t iso</pre></code>

== Using your mounted drive ==
To change to the newly mounted virtual drive simply type
<code><pre>[Drive-Letter]:</pre></code>

For example (If you mounted a Local-Directory to the Drive-Letter '''C''')
<code><pre>Z:\>C:</pre></code>

84.158.44.22:

I'm using Ubuntu and I tried the linux way but that doesn't work either. If I do what the tutorial says dosbox start to mount c again for some weird reasons.

~Soelen

This doesn't actually work, at least not in WinXP.

Any help?

I've written a new tutorial for creating DosBox tutorials (windows only), and deleted the original as it didn't seem to work. Hope this helps! I apologise if anyone objects to me culling the original page and its introduction!
