"Add IDE Virtual Drive" is grayed out

[Blazkowicz]

Update to Daemon Tools Pro Advanced 4.12.0223.

I am running Daemon Tools Pro Standard version 4.35 and I have the IDE greyed out. I opened virtual device manager but it only shows SCSI drives and nothing about IDE. I unloaded Daemon tools and reloaded again from their website but still no luck..Any advice please?

Install Advanced version.

IDE Greyed out

Did you start virtual IDE controller in Virtual Device manager? It is not running by default.

When I open Virtual Device Manager ther is NO virtual IDE controller...only virtual SCSI controller...and I also cannot load bin files even though I have them marked on....I am also running the version 4.35 and with Windows XP Pro SP3

@ tomorchid, I am new customer like you too, and dont represent DT official support. But I can tell you this that Daemon Tools "Standard" version does NOT support Virtual IDE drives, it only supports virtual SCSI drives. That is why your IDE option is greyed out. ONLY the "Advanced" version supports virtual IDE drives. Hope that answers your question.

Yes, DAEMON Tools Pro Standart doesn't support IDE virtual drives.

What happens when you click on IDE Adapter button in Virtual Device Manager?

Most probably your issue is related to some security software installed on your PC. You can temporarily uninstall it and check if the problem is still reproducible.
