We still want a virtual IDE

[halfluke]

I've got a laptop, and disconnecting the IDE optical drive is not possible unless I disassemble it...

If I wanted to be banned, I should also ask:
when si DT PRO coming? :P

I don't think you'd be banned. But you'd be answered : "when it's done"

[halfluke]

In fact I haven't been banned, and I also forgot that the forum is moderated. And my topic was approved!
This is very tolerant, thank you.

But the laptop problem is real, and I don't think I'm the only one who has it.
So an IDE emulation would still be very much appreciated.

Then... when it's done

[chrashoverraid]

it won't take to lang anymore i think..... LocostofBurg said it would come this year (this did he said in 2006) but that didn't happened....but it must be almost done..!! But first they need to make the program good (no bugs, etc) then it will be released!!

As requested, thread split: Is it possible to have bug free programs?

I am new to Daemon tools so please forgive me if I'm too far off base. But can't you disable your CD/DVD drive via Control Panel>System>Device Manager and then disable the CD/DVD drive from there? Some people have also mentioned disabling the devices via their BIOS.

I just got my first notebook and am using Daemon Tools to make it easier to game on the go without bringing actual disks along. I too look forward to a virtual IDE versus the virtual SCSI. I've had no success with the various anti-blacklist programs that hide the drives. For now though I can live with just disabling the DVD drive.

Some Starforce versions can still detect your drives, even if they are disabled in Device Manager or even in the BIOS.

[Kinlaadare]

And this depends on the chipset version of your mobo, as well as its drivers (SF has some problems with nForce 4 mobos, under win XP 32b, but not under x64 XP)

hmmm

i think just typing a letter after the drive letter
of yourreal drive in the registry might work. its a thought

[halfluke]

my money for Daemon tools pro are out-of-date and not accepted as a valid currency anymore...
...Phantom Edition?

[Kinlaadare]

No news are good news, ain't it?

Means they're working on it

[halfluke]

I'm sure they are, as I'm sure that some people have a pretty good beta version.
I'm just sad, 'coz I remember I decided to pay for it as one of the best piece of software ever.
But it was more than one year ago...

[Kinlaadare]

Maybe ye'll get more info in a few time...

[chrashoverraid]

or next year :P
i am just gonna wait a few weeks after release and then i gonna buy it i think/hope!
