  • Can't use virtual drive? ("Windows can't access this disk" error)

    I have an .iso mounted to a virtual drive using the Lite version of Daemon Tools. It's mounted on a DT drive. Whenever I try to run auto-play or explore the drive, I get this error.

    Windows can't access this disc.
    The disc might be corrupt. Make sure that the disc uses a format Windows recognizes. If the disc is unformatted, you need to format it before using it.

    I'm using Windows 7. I'm sure the iso file has nothing wrong with it. I can't burn it to a DVD to test it because I don't have any DVDs big enough to hold the file. This is my first time ever having Damon Tools on my laptop and I have no idea what's going on. Am I doing something wrong? The version of DT I'm using is the most recent version available.

    Please check the problem with another image file.

      I've used three different image files and I get the same error every time. I'm really sure it's not the image file.

        How did you create that image?

          I didn't. I downloaded it.

            I am having the exact same problem. There's no solution here and it's an old thread. Did anyone figure out the issue?

              Here as well... I even uninstalled, rebooted an installed the newest version 4.45, mounted as DT and SCSI to no avail. Given this
              issue is over 10 months old, it doesn't seem hopeful Below are my screenshots of the failure and the version:

                Is your problem reproducible with all images or with exact one?

                  If reproducible for all images it's likely a filter driver issue or some other OS problem not mainly caused by DT.
                  Please try this FixIt solution: Your CD or DVD drive can't read or write media

                      Hey, anyone around here actually want to....oh, I don't know, actually do something about this serious problem that renders the program completely useless? Because, I'd like to personally thank the people around here for wasting my time by not actually offering anything helpful for this problem, and leaving this thread unresolved and up to clog up my search engine preventing me from finding some actual useful information. Also, kudos for picking a verification system on the sign up that is damn near impossible, forcing me to fill out the registration 12 damn times.

                      I think I'm going to go find a better software programmed by people with a clue, and with a staff that actually knows how to troubleshoot and fix a problem, rather than leave a forum thread unresolved forever.
