Guide to Running UAKM & The Pandora Directive on Windows

I had a problem with the mount commands. Kept getting a "directory does not exist" or "path does not exist" error. Solution: in the mount commands you need to increment the cdrom numbers. In your directions you have:

mount e c:\ pandora\pandora1 -t cdrom -usecd 0 -label PANDORA1
mount f c:\pandora\pandora2 -t cdrom -usecd 0 -label PANDORA2
mount g c:\pandora\pandora3 -t cdrom -usecd 0 -label PANDORA3
mount h c:\pandora\pandora4 -t cdrom -usecd 0 -label PANDORA4
mount i c:\pandora\pandora5 -t cdrom -usecd 0 -label PANDORA5
mount j c:\pandora\pandora6 -t cdrom -usecd 0 -label PANDORA6

You have to increment the number after the "-usecd" parameter. So, if d is 0, then e must be 1, f must be 2, and so on.

So, it should be. . .

mount e c:\ pandora\pandora1 -t cdrom -usecd 1 -label PANDORA1
mount f c:\pandora\pandora2 -t cdrom -usecd 2 -label PANDORA2
mount g c:\pandora\pandora3 -t cdrom -usecd 3 -label PANDORA3
mount h c:\pandora\pandora4 -t cdrom -usecd 4 -label PANDORA4
mount i c:\pandora\pandora5 -t cdrom -usecd 5 -label PANDORA5
mount j c:\pandora\pandora6 -t cdrom -usecd 6 -label PANDORA6

Hi Gary I really appreciate the tip. Originally when I tried it it caused Pandora to stop working properly on my setup. Shortly after I realized that a new dosbox version had come out and my old settings that worked before the older version of dosbox that I was using suddenly didn't work. At first I thought you were saying to label each 0-5 from your message on my site. Now that I reread it and tried it things Pandora work perfectly again. So I updated my guide today with these corrections. I really appreciate the advise and hopefully this will help out others as well.

Hey! This guide works nicely. Thank you very much. I'm going to play UaKM right now.
