Ahh, at last, somebody who did....

[LoKo7]

What steps that were recommended in that thread did you try?

One of the linked MS KB articles has at least 3 methods outlined in it. Please give more details about your attempts.

is there any way to just clean unistall any trances of a virtual drive existing on your computer without using system restore and formatting????

Ok, this sounds obvious but are you running with Administrator permissions? Have you checked the permissions for that folder and have you tried deleting that folder and then re-trying.

p.s. if you never installed DAEMON Tools 3.47 (without aborting the installation) you can just skip it and install the newest DAEMON Tools version: DAEMON Tools 4.

yeah, and unfortunatly i have install daemon tools before, this problem is so wierd and yet the most frustrating problem i have ever come across...if only that file appears and quit hiding somewhere even the 'search' option in windows cannot reach it

[LoKo7]

so is there any programs/ways of getting rid of any evidence of a virtual drive ever existing on ur comp without using reformating or system recovery??

You've to delete that folder, then try again.

[LoKo7]

Right done all that stuff, deleting all evidence such as .sys files, regedit etc and good news.....gotto further so d-tools is installed however now getting 'Invalid Device' message each time i run D-tools + the stupid hardware wizard comes into to bug me even further, any suggestions???

[LoKo7]

UPDATE: Managed to get 3.47 installed however a virtual drive doesnt appear in explorer even though theres no error messages when i mount an image(Autorun doesnt kick in too)
I went to device manager and saw theres a unkown device: Generic DVD-ROM SCSI cdRom Device

Any ideas?

[JoelEllison]

Does the Generic DVD-ROM SCSI cdRom Device have a yellow exclamation mark or red X on it?

[LoKo7]

yellow '?' mark, tried repairing through d-tools installation, still no help......know how to overcome this?
