"Add IDE Virtual Drive" is grayed out

[Sway]

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.

Please read this thread - http://forum.daemon-tools.cc/f19/can...-4-41-a-28934/.

I'm using daemon tools pro advanced edition,

"but it's still grayed virtual IDE in virtual device manager"
?
how can fix it

[Sway]

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

@ 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.

[tomorchid]

Install Advanced version.

but I the license for the standard version NOT for the advanced.

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

Install Advanced version.

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?

[Blazkowicz]

Update to Daemon Tools Pro Advanced 4.12.0223.

[HRGUEST]

Same problem can't active IDE virtual drive. "error Unable to add the adapter device problem 1" or "error Unable to add the adapter device problem 28"

Daemon-Tools Pro Advanced 4.12.0220
window XP SP2 32bit

On the windows hardware wizard it also says " Error occurred Driver is not intended for this plataform" Guess it might be because i have no pata drives in my pc only sata.

Also the updating service is quite anoying how can i make the Daemon-Tools client detect that i have web? any other easy way to update?
