Diablo II - Not reading virtual drive?

[jasondcc]

How do I do that, evlncrn8?

[Rodlee]

Just go to "advanced setings" in Daemon and mark the box "SecuRom". The game will load.

I just want to add that my Diablo 2 LoD started up with an image from every virtual drive, even with versions below 1.12 which removed the CD-check. It's also possible to install the game by mounting images of all 3 CDs in 3 virtual drives and starting the installer and you don't need to enter the path to the next CD.
With other words: I have no idea why it doesn't work for you

I agree with you xileF1337. This is one of the easiest ones to backup

thanks! i'll go attempt to DL the patch, then

Hi!

With the last official Diablo II patch the game doesn't need the CD in order to play.

Greetings.

oh boy... I'm either stupid or my computer really is completely screwed...

I have the same exact problem. I've tried changing the reg keys. it's mounted to drive D:

I've changed the RegEdit to DiabloIICD->REG_SZ->D:

nothing changed.

I've gone through and tried everything recommended thus far.. anything small and minute I might be missing?

Re: DiabloIICD registry value

I was searching around looking for an answer to the same problem,
open up your registry editor, go to Edit->Find, and type DiabloIICD
it should bring you to the entry DiabloIICD REG_SZ D:
it should look something like that, right click on it select modify, and change the value data to the letter of the virtual drive that has your d2 image (in your case, Q, and it should work.

This is a good hint, modifying the registry is a lot better than installing the game again (but both methods should fix the game).

I was searching around looking for an answer to the same problem, and Blazkowicz's post inspired me to find it on my own
open up your registry editor, go to Edit->Find, and type DiabloIICD

it should look something like that, right click on it select modify, and change the value data to the letter of the virtual drive that has your d2 image (in your case, Q, and it should work.
also I dont use daemon tool so i dunno if thiss will work for you, but if you can set that drive to autorun, just open my computer and double click it, or just open up the cd image and run setup.exe.

...

This one should be pretty simple. I would uninstall then install from the virtual drive with the original CD ejected of course, then try running the game. If the new install asks for a CD then you didn't rip the cd correctly.

Which program and settings did you make the image with... i just noticed, in the picture above, the image seems to be a different size than the disk?!

[Dcmorris]

hmm didn't seem to work...I tried changing the drives around and everything. Any other suggestions?

[,jACkdA\W]

Just right-click on the 'CD-ROM 0' ( Drive F: ), choose 'Change Drive letters' and change it to whatever you want (and is free). Then do the same to the DT drive and change it to F:

[Dcmorris]

I'm not sure what it is supposed to look like or what I am supposed to do but this is what mine looks like.





I'm trying to make drive Q (CD-Rom 2) my main one. In other words, that is where the diablo 2 play image is in daemon tools and I want the game to run off of that image instead of the actual play disk (which is currently in Drive F)

Disk Management console. Either right-click on My Computer, select Manage, then Disk Management, or go to Start -> Run and type "diskmgmt.msc".
