Hopefully it will work.
When my old Windows XP computer died, a few years ago, I had, at that time, installed a lot of Dos and Windows games on the hard drive.
A friend of mine was able to save the hard drive and hook it up to my Windows 7 computer.
Now I have access to all the games and programs I had installed on it.
In my search, I found that I had installed Silent Hunter Commander Edition, along with other Dos/Window games, like Great Naval Battles North Atlantic 1939 -1943, and Wolfpack, etc.
With the the full install of Silent Hunter on my old hard drive, what steps would I need to do to get it running through DosBox???

This is GREAT. I have saved my old HD's too.
You have administrator privileges, right? In Windows can you get to your C:\ drive?
Make a folder on your C:\ drive called C:
\GAMES or C:\SUBGAMES - whatever. It won't conflict with the Windows
\games folder so don't worry about that.
Access your old Hard drive and drag the SHCE SILENT folder over to your new \GAMES folder. I hope it is a
Full install, that's important.
All you need to do is drag the BUD movies over from the CD if they are not on your install, modify the
*.ini files, and configure DOSBox.
Happy Hunting!
