I trying to run fractint on windows 8.1 using dos box.
every time I try to mount a drive it says the directory does not exit.
I am tearing my hair out. The boot drive is 2 128gb SSD's in Raid 0 and I have another disk which is 1TB.
Where should I put the fractint.exe file and how exactly do I get dosbox to run it?

In my dosbox setup I have a folder on my D: drive called dosbox.  The path to this is therefore d:\dosbox.  In this I put any program I wish to use.

To mount a drive as the root of C within dosbox, the command is therefore:

Code:
mount c d:\dosbox

This command tells dosbox that the folder d:\dosbox contains the root c: drive.

To anyone viewing my posts and finding missing/broken links to a website called www.needanother.co.uk, I still own the domain but recently cancelled my server (saving £30/month) so even though the domain address exists, it points nowhere.  I hope to one day sort something out but for now - sorry!

In the DOSBox 0.74 folder, there is a configuration file called dosbox-074.conf.  This can be edited with any text editor.  At the very end of the file, there's a section containing auto-exec commands, like a batch file, that will run every time you run DOSBox.  That's where I put my mount command.  I have my DOS folder on the C drive, thus my mount command needs different code than Simon's.

Code:
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.

mount c c:\users\ryan\dos\
c:\
cycles=max
