vista searching of daemon-tools mounted dvd not working
I need to do a keyword search for files within a dvd image. I mounted dvd using DT to a virtual drive 'J:'. And performed a search within vista, but the file was not found. Is this a limitation of the daemon-tools software that vista is unable to search virtual drives? How do I fix it?
Here are the steps I followed so search for the file:
1. Mounted dvd image as virtual drive J
2. Run Search Everywhere window in vista
3. Click Advanced Search button
4. Select virtual drive J from the Location drop-down menu
5. Type the filename in Named text box (verified that the file was on the drive manually, and also triple-checked for typos),
6. Click the "Include non-indexed, hidden, ad system files" checkbox
7. Click the Search button.
The above steps failed to find the file. I also mounted the virtual drive as a physical directory and searched using the same steps above but replaced the J drive for the C drive in the drop-down Location menu. This did not find the file either. I also specified the parent folder of the mounted physical directory in Control Panel | Index Options and then did a rebuild, but still does not find file. I also specified in my searches two different filenames, I tried first with exact filename Antiques.wmf and after that failed tried using a wildcard Antiques*.*. None of the steps were able to find the file.
