Objective: To mount a CD image from drive E: to drive D: in order to play a game.

I have found a mount command for ms-dos but it does not work for some reason. Maybe because the starting point is C:\Documents and Settings\Legend> ? I mean when i use this starting point and type mount with it , it says that it's not recognized as an internal or external command, operation or batch file.

Can anyone please give me the exact command to mount cd image from drive E: to drive D:? (Including the starting point like E:\, or the above one "C:\Documents and Settings\Legend>)

Please give exact command for mounting CD image from drive E: to D:,

Thanks a lot.Try using the subst command to assign a virtual drive letter to a path.

subst [drive1: [drive2:]Path]

Good luck. 8-)Hm.. interesting..IM glad that the "subst" command is not an invalid one but i still have a prob

Can u give me the exact command? i mean i have DRIVES E: and D: and i tried your format and i inserted all the drive letters: "subst [E: [D:]Path] .... But it says invalid parameter E:

By the way i'm using Zdaemon tools..

Can anyone tell me how to make it not an invalid parameter?

Or am i doing the command right ? "Subst [E: [D:]Path]

hmm... Thanks
You never mentioned an OS. I found some commands in an old DOS book (aka: Book Of The Dead) which may be helpful:

The format of the subst command is

subst virtual drive: real drive:\real path

The purpose of this command was to allow the user to substitute pathnames for a drive letter. Many programs in the olden days would not ACCEPT pathnames.

There is also assign. ANYBODY who has ever tried to stuff a 5¼ floppy into a 3½ drive would see the usefulness of this command. ASSIGN has been discontinued in later version of Windows.

Of course there is the always faithful append which allowed the user to string DIRECTORY names to the current directory. This would probably not be helpful in your situation.

In later versions of Windows there is diskpart which can be run from the command line or thru the GUI.

If your D: and E: are real physical drives you may need to use diskpart and simply reassign the drive letters.

Curious though, you mentioned that Zdaemon Tools had a MOUNT command. Can you not use that?

Good luck. 8-)

Note: Assignments made with SUBST, APPEND, ASSIGN do not survive a boot. I'm fairly certain DISKPART assignments will.

Well, drives E: is a virtual one and drive D: (DVD-CDROM) is a physical drive.

I use zdaemon tools in order to mount an image of a pirated star wars battlefront II game i got from a torrent. However, the problem really is , is that zdaemon cant mount cd images on drive D: but it can mount it on drives E: after so (like F:, H:, ect).

I mounted the BFII image on the E: drive using zdaemon tools and ran the game but the game says i need an original cd in order to run it
..A.K.A. i need to get the cd image from the virtual drive E: (i only get this drive when i use ZDAEMON tools) to the physical drive D:.

Is this enough info for u to give me an exact command ? Thx the cd image is called BFII if u need that info jus in case. I mean i hope u can give me one where all the drive letters and paths are like already there and that path part i dont really get either. sorry dam i am newbie at this ms-dos stuff lol.

Again, it might be that i'm putting path as the word..is there something that suppose to be in palce instead of path?
thanks
