I got Corridor7 to work in XP and dosbox, but when I try to save a game, I get a flash type msg. that says "not enough room on drive to save".
Any help please?

Mount lines?
Inputs to run the game?
Original? Downloaded?
How did you install the game?

[texhunt]

I am running from the cd.
I mount D to play
Not sure what you mean by inputs. If it helps, I can ctrl-F12 to speed game up.
I "intro cdrom" then mount d and then change to D: & enter cd Corr7cd

If you can change the save directory, that will probably work.
You're getting a "not enough room" error because the D: is a finalized CD that the game cannot write data to.

Thanks,
But since I am not very good at this, how do I do that?

First of all, you install dosbox correctly:

Next:
You mount your CD as D: in dosbox and install the game on C:
You run the game from C: in doxbox and you will be able to save.

Thanks,
I can mount D , but how do I install the game on C ?

[dosraider]

[texhunt]

I use this to mount D
Z:\>mount d D:\ -t cdrom enter

then;
Z:\>D:\ enter

then;
D:\cd corr7cd enter

then;
corr7cd enter, the game starts

I don't do anything with C to start the game, but when I tried anything with C, it says C does not exist.

"Now yeah, your D: mount seems to be OK, now the rest .....
Step by step."

Are you asking me for more step by step? After the game starts, I just play it. I gave you all that I do to start the game.

in the meantime,I will try the virtual c like you suggested.

Thanks

OK, I got
Z:\>mount c c:\oldgames
Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\oldgames
Z:\>c:
C:\>

do I install now?

Well, if you want to run the game from a CD, you can. If you mount c:\oldgames, you should be able to save.

DOSBOX works by emulating a DOS environment. However, it needs user commands to determine where and what it can access.
If you mount C: (as C:/oldgames or whatever) and D: (as your CD drive), DOSBOX will be able to access both your C:/oldgames folder and your CD drive.
So, when you save to C: from the game, it should save to your "C:/oldgames" folder, because that's what DOSBOX and the game think it is.

I've been trying to recreate your scenario, but I only have the demo, which won't let me save.
But see if what I said helps.

tl;dr: Mount both the C and D drives.
