Never tried it, but if none of our members can assist, you could try the DOSBox site: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php?page=0 or their forums: http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewforum.php?f=31&sid=fc5c1b5f83ed08cdb9e0e5a170b5c164

But your syntax looks wrong. It probably should have been: C:\>cd C:\games

But I haven't used DOS in a while.

I suspect the problem is that you've mounted C:\games on your hard drive as C:\ in DosBox. So you don't need to CD to the games folder, you're already there. Type DIR to see the contents of the drive. It should be the same as C:\games on the host.

If you need access to other stuff on the C: drive of the host you should "mount c c:\" instead. Then you will have to CD GAMES to get into the games folder.

You may want to try one of the frontends available from the DosBox site. I like going command-line most of the time, but the frontend takes all the hassle out of it (especially if you're just playing games0.
