DAEMON Tools Version: 3.47
I would like to have some details about the support of split images in Daemon Tools, as I found that they are not always working.
[I have an external HD I use for backups that I need to have as FAT32 for crossplatforming. Therefore, I have to split all the images bigger than 4Gb since that's the maximum file size for that filesystem.]
So I tried a Painkiller image (1.85Gb) split into 1Gb chunks and everything went fine, but when I tried a bigger image (Myst4 - Dvd2, 4.16Gb, still split in 1Gb chunks) the virtual drive was not accessible. However, the source image is fine as DaemonTools correctly mounts the full 4Gb file. The same happened with the first disc (3.17Gb).
I thought it might have been the number of chunks, so I tried splitting Myst4 in 2 parts rather than 5 but to no avail. On the other hand, the Painkiller image split into 10 small 200Mb pieces worked fine, as other smaller Cd images I tried.
So it looks like a matter of total size and not of number chunks or even absence of support for split images (as I first thought), but I wonder if this can be fixed...it would be really helpful for me! :wink:
