·Mount List  
This list shows you which drives will be available to DOSBox. It also shows what kind of drives they will be. I'll explain what every means:  
·Folder  
This is the folder/image/floppy/drive WHATEVER that's going to be mounted in DOSBox  
·Type  
This shows you what your 'folder' will be when it's mounted in DOSBox. This can either be a: Drive, Floppy, CDROM  
·Drive letter  
This shows the drive letter your 'folder' will be when it's mounted in DOSBox  
·Label  
DOSBox will give this label to your mounted 'folder'. Some games won't work unless a certain label is set for a CDROM.  
·IOCTL  
Only useful for mounting physical CDROMS and Virtual CDROMs. If a game's copy protection is giving you trouble then enable this setting.  
 
·Auto Create  
Pressing this button will automatically create a valid mount point for your game. This will work just fine nine out of ten times but some games are very picky about their installation folder. Auto Creating a mount will always mount the root of a drive the type of the mount will always be a hard drive. But you can edit it if you wish.  
·Add

·Edit  
Opens the Add mount screen with your selected mount which you can Edit.
