On x64 Vista SP1, virtual drive isn't recognized

[matt_2k34]

i have the same problem, vista x64 ultimate + SP1 and no virtual devices

worked before SP1 install, but kept crashing just prior to SP1, so i tried to reinstall after installing SP1 without a hitch and now i cant assign driveletters to the device..

I have the same problem.
My OS is Vista SP1 Busisness.

Not really helpful, but just for verification purposes, Vista Ultimate x64 - with or without SP1 - works perfectly fine for me using Alcohol and DT Pro. So I'd wager that SP1 is unrelated to your issues.

***Everyone who posts here should report if DAEMON Tools is fixed by uninstalling SP1***

[matt_2k34]

dont be silly, dont remove SP1


i fixed it on my machine and i dont see anyone posting that they fixed it on this thread so ill say how i did it:

go to device manager, other devices and mine was listed there with a small white " ! " on it, (far from the yellow ! MS normally give stuffs)

Right click > update driver

Browse

i had to go here :

C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_cdrom.inf_31bf3856ad364e35 _6.0.6001.18000_none_bbc7f7665c24db80

let it search, gives you a warning about it not being digitally signed (yes MS didnt sign their own driver?) after it pops that one in it works fine...

Running Vista ultimate x64

I assume the problems have occurred recently because MS has tried to lock down 64bit systems to use Signed drivers only, but obviously it still lets them be applied

hope that helps someone, sorry if its been posted somewhere before - happy bunny again now its working installing VS2008 so it runs fine too ! woop

Re: if on x64 Vista SP1, virtual drive isn't recognized

Thanks for the hints and tutorial (I wrote what I did above regarding testing uninstall because the problem was not reproducable as far as the DAEMON Tools team knows)

well I found the solution.. I want credit for this lol


run regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

delete upperfilter and lowerfilter

not the .bak files if those exist.

reboot.. voila..

You must install dt as administrator,and it must be run as administrator.
Only the first time

I have install Daemon Tools On Vista x64 SP1 and when i mount a virtual disk. It is not mount(htey are in my computer). When i check virtual disk it is say that it cannont acces this disk. I install Daemon as administrator, disable UAC, clear infocahes and i have no upperfilter file. But i still cannot mount images. Who now what is the problem?

@mind_enchanter
Can you see your virtual drives in MyComputer?

[mind_enchanter]

@SUPPORT2
Yes i see virtual disk in My Computer and Device Manager. And there no conflict. I install Vista x64 without service pack and is the same. I see all disk normal but when i mount nothing load. And double click on mounted virtual disk it say that i cannot acces disk

@mind_enchanter

Which DAEMON Tools version have you installed?

[mind_enchanter]

I have installed many versions. The last versions, 4.09, 4.12. But is the same. It is very strange before clean reinstall Daemon work.
