          I'm having also the exactly same problem, when I add a virtual drive I here the sound that a new device is detected, but I don't get a 'new hardware found' screen or something.
          The virtual drive isn't shown in 'Computer' and not listed in device-manager.
          Also when I'm trying to change the drive letter from none to i.e. 'F:' I get an error...
          I'm running Windows Vista HomePremium x86, is there any solution for this?
          And what do you guys mean with the above things?

          Thanks,
          Tim

            As far as i heared its a vista problem. the cd driver is corruptet.
            so just a repair/reinstall of the os would help.
            damn i hate to reinstall systems

                Found the solutions, this is what I've done:

                1: Copy cdrom.pnf; cdrom.inf and cdrom.sys from %WINDIR%\System32\DriverStore to %WINDIR%\INF (overwrite any file that allready exists).
                2: Delete the infcache.1 file in the %WINDIR%\INF folder.
                3: Uninstall DAEMON Tools (if it's installed)
                4: Reboot you're computer
                5: Install DAEMON Tools, and you're drivers should be displayed in 'Computer'

                I hope this helps, I worked for me anyway

                Regards,
                Tim

                    When I go into windir\system32\driverstore I have 3 folders in there. en-us, filerepository, and temp. In which one of those folders can I find those files? cuz I have checked in en-us and I found the files, but also in the filerepository there are folders that are named those files.

                          In FileRepository, but you can just open the folder and hit CTRL+F
