This is really cool. All the other ones I’ve tried either caused viruses or messed up the boot files. Does it work with 32 bit Vista too?

DaemonTools v4 has no spyware, and is much better than this.

Every time I try to mount an iso file it gives me the autorun window for a split second, then it disappears. Trying to get the Killing Floor .iso to work, and it’s irritating -_-. Any thoughts?

I downloaded Virtual Clone Drive, but it’s not working. I’ve spent the past three hours trying to figure out how to get Sims 2 Life Stories to work, and this is where I’m at.

One more thought to those having problems after installing VirtualCloneDrive:

Windows and some third-party software likes to keep ISO files associated with archiving utility software, so that you can browse files, or cd burning software, so that you can burn an image to a cd/dvd. If you want to mount an ISO to Virtual Clone Drive you may need to find the iso file in Windows Explorer and RIGHT-CLICK on it. There should be an option to ‘Mount with Virtual Clone Drive’ or something similar. Pick that option, and you should have the image mounted on the appropriate letter.

Also, if you need to burn the image to CD/DVD, and your machine doesn’t seem to have software for that, try InfraRecorder, an open source free program to do just that.

Mac, did you try several different iso files and have this result with all of them? It seems to me the most likely reason you would get a ‘need to format’ error would be that the image you mounted was not good. Try an iso image that you downloaded, rather than one you created on your machine, too. Just in case. Also, if you haven’t rebooted already, do that.

Good luck.
