Hey. I'm trying to mount an image, but I can't get the virtual drives to work. I have tried MagicISO, Alcohol 120% and Deamon. I can mount the image within the program, but no virtual drives show up in my computer. In MagicISO I tried to change the drive letter, but nothing happended. Any suggestions?

    check your settings that it's not trying to mount a virtual drive to where a physical drive already exists.

    I'm not completely sure what you mean. In Alcohol, there is only one drive, D, which is my physical. When I changed my virtual drive settings in options to match the physical one, the phyical suddenly turned in to a virtual drive, still with D. I tried to mount an image, didn't work.

    What I'm saying is DON'T do that. If you physically have a D drive (typically your optical drive) make sure that any virtual drive you are making isn't using an existing assigned letter. So in your case make sure your Virtual Drive is Not C or D or E if you have multiple harddrives/partitions. Assign it to G or H. Also if you have or ever do plan on using a usb drive of some point then it also will often use and reserver (which can be frustrating as hell) a drive letter for it.

    Well, see, therein lies some of my problem. I can't change the drive letter, because I don't even have a vitual drive to change on! The virtual drives doesn't show up.

    you should be able to go into the options and specify where it'll start assigning letters to the virtual drives it creates. You have to do this before you try and mount any virtual drives.

    Wish I could, but the options where I can set drive parameters and drive letters are greyed out in Alcohol.

    If you can still see the virtual drive in device manager, uninstall it. Then create a new virtual drive in Alcohol and assign it to Z or something else that won't be used.

    I uninstalled it in device manager, and tried to make a new drive, with the drive letter Z, but an error message pops up, saying: "Unable to set new drive letter."

    Well, Alcohol 120% sucks. I recommend daemon tools. daemon-tools.cc

    D-tools was the one that gave me that message earlier. Not that A-120 is much better, can't change drive letters there either....
