"dosbox and disk error"
I have gotten dosbox to work in playing the game, but I am unable to load my old saves or create new saves. Every time I attempt to do so I get a "disk error". I have searched the boards and seen that one other person had this proble, but the solution he was provided was so vague (for a non-computer expert) that I cannot get the fix to work.

My Dsavant file is located in C\dsavant

My DOSBOX program runs from C\program files

So how can i get the damned thing to recognize the savegmames? Could I get a more detailed explanatuion?

As it is currently I type the following to get the game to run:

"mount c c:\dsavant

c:

ds"

This gets the game going, but without permitting me to load or save. So what do I need to add here?

Thanks for any help you can give!

The problem is that it looking in C:\dsavant which when it translates onto your computer it is looking at C:\dsavant\dsavant

change to mount c c:\
then cd dsavant
then ds

that should make all the paths work.
