I am running Beta 2 5384 and none of the versions of D-tools work. I am not going to try anything about 3.33 [ blue screen].

3.33 gives the contact your admin error and 3.02 [ which worked in prev builds] installs fine but reports an error with the virtual driver not being there.

I did also get star port to work but during an install of VS 2005 it stopped working. The fight for virtual drive vista continues. I really like d-tools and hope to see a fix.

3.02 Works fine, you just have to run the EXE as administrator (right click on icon)

3.33 on all vista!!!

hi,
I personally think it must be a hardware compatibility problem with your pc and daemon because i installed 3.33 on every build of vista i have ( 3683 till 5384 and 5421 also ):wink:
and this on the 5 different pc's i have!
Never a problem at all!

Take care!

[marciton]

where could you find it ...
i've nstall 3.47 with blue screen and a none working install an no way to remove :-<

[sfkilla23]

Find what?

what can't you find? the 3.33?
if its this than you should go in the download section of the site and down till archive....all daemon versions are there!

Blue screen....you definitely have a problem....(hardware) i never had a blue screen with any daemon...i remember the blue screen age with win98 but this is years ago!

The image is likely corrupt or victim of tampering.

Yce: Nothing newer than DAEMON Tools 3.33 works in the latest Vista beta (see SFkilla23's posts for more info).

On Vista Build 5384 I couldn't get 3.02 to work. I tried to uninstall, it hung, and then the file st320hg.sys became corrupt . Reinstalling Vista now.

Any tips?

[bob_chauvin]

I'll be creating a Vista/Windows restore point before installing next time.

Error during install of 3.3 on Vista Beta 2(5384)


Hardware:
Athlon 3200+
1GB Ram

[bob_chauvin]

You may have to reinstall Vista. Sorry. I had a similar error, and couldn't get around it.

For future ref, Create a restore point after the base os is installed.

Hello, More specific about your hardware!!!!

hi,

If you guys have read the posts, you would see that i use daemon 3.33 on all vista since build 5048 untill latest 5421.
I also have different configurations but it stills works without any problem on any on my pcs.

I personally think that you guys have a hardware problem or some hardware that makes conflict with DT's virtual drive!
I have Amd based system and also Pentium based systems but either of them work nice with any vista and DT 3.33.

My main Config is:

MSI NEO2 LS Intel 865PE
Pentium 4C @ 3200mhz ( 266*12 ) Intel Fan
1 Go Ram DDR400 @ 422mhz Dual Channel ( 4*256 )
Geforce 6600GT AGP 128M XFX Zalman VF700
Hitachi 160Go 7200Rpm 8M
FreeCom F-1 CDRW 52X

HD in 3 Partitions!
C: 40Go - Vista Beta 2
D: 40Go - Xp SP2
E: 80Go - Backup Drive
F: Daemon Drive
G: CDRW

The trick to putt Xp on partition 2 "D:" is to install xp first on D:
After that install Vista mounting it from xp ( with Dt or Alcohol120 ) on the C:
Otherwise if you install vista on the C: first.... it will be deleted or overwritten when you will try to install Xp after that.
Just a trick to make it quick!

My Second main pc:

ABIT NF7-S V1.2 NForce2
AMD ATHLON XP 1800+ @ 2300mhz ( 200*11.5 )
512 Mo DDR400 ( 2*256 )
Maxtor 160Go 7200rpm 16Mo
ATI RADEON 9600 PRO 256Mo AGP
LITEON DVDROM

Partitions same way as above!

I remember i had complication with other versions of DT such as 3.02, 3.47, 4.00, 4.03 but since i found version 3.33 i never had any problems anymore!
I had more complication with my AMD system than my Intel system!

Can i suggest you guys to try a fresh install of vista... but this time only attach 1 hard disk and 1 dvdrom! take away all other unescessary (at the moment) hardware. (exemple: Tuner cards, audio cards, raid cards, etc but also check the bios of your system and disactivate raid controller and firewire controller.... Actually it would be good just to disactivate anything that you don't need to install vista with!

I know it might be boring but this is how i do everytime i wanna know where the problem comes from and it usually gives me an answer!
By the way it only takes a couple of more minutes to go through the bios settings!

Voila!
Hope i'll get some testing feedback from you

Sincerely,
SFkilla23
