Hi there,
I have been needin to mount a couple of images on my computer which has a recently installed Vista RTM Ultimate (6000) so i grabbed dtools which i was familiar with b4, and ran the latest version, but havent noticed any new virtual drives.... so i said ok, lets forget about that, tried Alcohol 120% trial and retail, to no success, and virtual clone drive, then magiciso, and finally reached the conclusion its something with the OS itself, so here r the steps i've tried to take so far, but with no success.
1- I updated the SPTD twice, now i'm at 1.40.
2- Uninstalled all the above listed software, and tried to install each again, individually, to no success as well.
3- I did try to update the driver for the SCSI CD/DVD listed on the device manager window (win key+pause, or run--->devmgmt.msc) u'd find under other devices the SCSI drive listed, and it says workin properly, but then its not, i cant see any drives in windows explorer... when u point to windows\inf, or windows\inf\cdrom.inf for an updated driver.. it just would say no driver to support this hardware ( i dont know if i should just edit the cdrom.inf, and add the product/vendor id for the SCSI u guys emulate or what)
4-i tried to add a drive letter in the properties menu on dtools, but it keeps givin me the message unable to apply new drive letter, or unable to create, something to that meaning (although it does remember the DVD region i select)
5- i tried to force a know DVD type on the emulator (i simply got the specs of my dvd on another computer, and typed those into the emulator, it did change on the dev manager, but still wouldnt install drivers for it!)
So anyway, i tried to load an iso, and it does load, and the more devices u ask dtools to emulate, the more u find listed under other devices in the device manager window but none of windows explorer!!!
so anyway, is there a way around this? nothing craches, no BSOD, everything appears normal, but nothing is actually
to sum it up:
P4-2.8, 512MB, 160GB, CDRW
Vista RTM 6000 Ultimate Aero enabled
Dtools latest (downloaded today!)
SPTD 1.40 (latests stable, i tried to get hold of the new beta, doesnt wanna download, keeps routing to the same page)
Drives listed under other devices
no drives in explorer, and error on trying to assign a drive letter!
an "unknown device" also listed under other devices, that also doesnt want to accept the cdrom.inf as a definition file
sorry if this post is a bit too long, i just needed to give all the info to avoid presumed solutions which i have already covered
