my cd/dvd rom drives are not listed under "device parameters"
under Settings, drive letter:
it lists from drives E: to drive Z:
but what i want is drive D:
i don't know what to do. i mean the drive is working properly and everything.. but that daemon tools doesn't seem to recognize it or something
The DAEMON Tools "Set device parameters" screen is only for changing options about DAEMON Tools' "virtual" (not real and thus changeable) drives. It won't let you change things such as Vendor, Model, nor Revision on your real optical drives.
my computer automatically names my drive names (C-F)..and i can't really change that. or at least i don't know how to. and then i also have awxdTools downloaded. so i right click on the file i want to mount.. and it shows drive's, but none of them is the correct one. it seems like Daemon tools doesn't recognize my cd/dvd rom.. but i know its working fine.
anyone know what i can do?? or whats wrong?
or even how i can change the drive names (ex: from D: to G
I think what he wants is to use drive letter d:, not the actual drive that's on that drive letter.
However, I don't know what the "Datenträgerverwaltung" is called in the english version of Windows nor whether it exists in Windows XP Home. Could anyone check and point him there in case it exists? That way he can change the drive letters.
"I was inappropriately blunt, wasn't I? Sorry, I do that a lot."
to clarify
my cd drive is D: and i want to mount an image to/on that drive. However i am unable to do that because daemon tools settings does not give me that option. It lists all drive (from E: all the way to Z but no D:
So then when i try to mount something...its trying to mount something to a drive that doesn't exist.. and i get the error that says "Unable to mount image. Invalid image file."
Do I make sense?
also, emulation does NOT need to be turned on right?
Open Windows Logical Disk Management console (there are several ways to get to this - Right click on My Computer and select Manage (but I am not sure if this is in XP Home), or Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management --> Disk Management (again, the Home caveat).
Select the drive that is currently occupying the Drive D: slot (probably your Daemon tools drive) and Right click on it and select Change Drive Letter and Paths
It will pop up showing you that it is assigned Drive D: - click the Change button
Select a new drive letter (I typically assign my Daemon drives W-Z as I have all 4 of them - but these drives might be used for something else so select something that is available and far enough down the list that it will not interfere) - then click OK. Click Yes on the warning that pops up.
Now that drive will have the new drive letter - which frees up D: for you to use for the external HD, which I believe you said was currently E - go through the exact same process and now the letter D should be available.
Optionally, you can now make the Daemon drive whatever other letter you so desire (this being the 3rd step).
you cant mount images to an actual drive. you need to creatre a virtual drive, assign that a drive letter, then mount images to that one.
i think thats the problem you're having. Daemon tools is used for fooling your computer into thinking that you have an extra drive. you then mount images onto this drive.
