Hello,
i want to mount an image. But when I mounted the image, the explorer don't show a virtual CD-Rom. In "Set device parameters" is nothing in the Settings. When i choose a drive Letter and then I click OK, is it - when I open this windows again - empty. Other people said me, normal it's automatically, but at me it isn't.
I hope you can help me. Thanks!

Check this.

Thanks, but where can I find the device manager? In the windows search, all three files can be found.

[Copytrooper]

Right click on my computer -> properties -> Hardware tab -> button device manager,
or via control panel -> system -> button device manager.

Hello,
All the virtual CD-Roms are in the device manager listed.
What's wrong, why aren't they in the explorer?

Check in device manager if the drivers are installed (right click on Generic DVD-ROM -> properties -> drivers).

[Fabi]

The drivers are installed. What have I to do now?

[Copytrooper]

Which drivers are mentioned there?

[Fabi]

Pinnacle Systems GmbH
and
Microsoft Corporation

[Copytrooper]

The names of the drivers, not the firms.

[Fabi]

Where I can find the names of the drivers, I can only find the name of the firms?

[Copytrooper]

In device manager: right click on Generic DVD-ROM -> properties -> drivers -> driver details button.

Okay, I've done a screenshot:

Ok, try to remove the known troublemakers ASAPIW2K.SYS and imapi.sys from list of filter drivers for the virtual devices. Check this thread how to do that. Do NOT delete/rename the drivers only without correcting registry first! Your drives won't work at all then!

I think I'm experiencing the same problem. My USB devices appear in the Disk Management console and I can assign a drive letter to it but it doesn't appear in Explorer. I can get to it by right-clicking and pressing 'open' from the Disk Management console and can access everything but it doesn't list it as a proper drive. I can't seem to create files/directories for greater than 8 characters either.

I can't seem to access the link to the thread listed above. Would you mind telling me an updated link or repost the instructions?

Thanks.
