so i have downloaded the zip files from the website and extracted them but i have no disc to set the path drive from. all instructions for downloading the game seem to include the disk {at least the ones ive come across}. can i get a bit of help here...need instructions!!!!

You don't need the disk. Those instructions are for the people with it on a cdrom. Just extract the zip to a folder and run it from said folder (mounting that folder in dosbox of course).
