Check thread about error 25002 in common problems and solutions forum. Follow all steps and be sure to reboot after the procedure. Note that un-installation should usually be done via control panel -> software.
If you've leftovers of previous Daemon Tools installation (<3.44) also check threads about setup failing to un-install old version, and about remaining drives after un-installation. Don't forget to reboot here, too.

i did everything on error 25002 forums and rebooted as asked and still the virtual drive loads every few mins....i checked almost all the forums and i re-scanned my registry and computer for any type of file names that were mentioned on the forums and i found nothing, i also rebooted into safe mode and re scanned everything and found nothing....im very puzzled here... :x

Then you didn't all steps mentioned there.
But lets do it the other way around: What's on your system then? I.e. in device manager -> CD/DVD-ROM section, SCSI/RAID-Controller section, System devices section?

CD/DVD ROM:
_NEC CD-RW NR-9100A
SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-616T
- i don't have a SCSI/RAID Controller Section...

So there's no virtual drive, no controller and no PnP BIOS extension - so what's the problem then?

[zim]

the problem is some how i don't know how...but the virtual drive is still loading...because every few minutes my mouse cursor has a little CD icon(loading a disc)...and its trying to load something thats not there so it freezes my computer for a minute...i have no clue what to do but its driving me insane!

[zim]

should i try re-installing and then uninstalling it again?

[Copytrooper]

Such behavior has nothing to do with Daemon Tools. You should check task manager which process takes 100% cpu usage.

[zim]

the only thing that took close to 100pct was System Idle Process

i was just searching threw some things in my computer and came across this Nero Image Drive, i just recently uninstalled Nero...and im wondering what this is and why its on my pc?
