shockersh Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Hi Ricky! Were going to get this going for you I promise! Do you have the Sheep lookin thing in your Windows explorer like the last 2 pictures in this article: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microso ... ta-and-xp/ Is this where your right clicking on the Icon? Or are you right clicking on the icon in the Toolbar (bottom right of screen next to clock? Do you have that icon? Quote
Guest rickyd74 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 in vista i don't see the clone drive in explorer however the vc icon is on the desktop. it's almost as if the application is not installing even though it says it is. Quote
Steve Krause Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall? Once installed, you should have the CloneDrive Icon in Windows Explorer and if you right click it, you should have the options to Mount an ISO or CD Image. Are you running Windows Vista 64bit or 32bit? Remember, clonedrive does not work on x64. Quote
Guest rickyd74 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 this is vista 32bit & yes i have tried rebooting, turning the system off and waiting 2 or 3 hours for no reason etc.. i have also tried installing and uninstalling. this is a brand new machince right out of the box not a rebuild or an machine that has had mulitple things installed or uninstalled etc. Quote

Clean machines are nice. After you reboot and see the icon on the desktop, Double Click on it. It should prompt you to select the number of clone drives you want to use: Were you able to get this far? Keep us updated Quote
shockersh Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 You should just goto MagicISO. It's free, easy to use and compatible with XP, Vista, Server 2008 and unlike Virtual Clone drive, it support x64. Virtual Clone Drive is x86 or 32bit only. Try that out and post back if your fixed! Quote

Hi Mackenzie! Welcome to the site! Most likely the problem is not with your install or what your doing but rather, the problem is the ISO. Do you have another ISO you can mount and test out? Let me know. I can create a small ISO if needed and post it somewhere you can grab it. Quote

Sounds like you have a bad ISO file. ok so i downloaded this and did everything properlymounted the iso and when i click on it it says "windows cannot access this disc" then it goes on to tell about how it needs to be formatted and everything any help?

Let me know. I can create a small ISO if needed and post it somewhere you can grab it. You should also go download MAGIC ISO (that's what I use) and see if you have the same problem. BTW - you can grab an ISO file anywhere these days. try a few of them to make sure it's not a dud like groovy dude said. Quote
Guest Animis Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 I like to use Daemon tools Lite. Haven't tried virtual clone drive or magic ISO. But yeah it sounds like you have a corrupted ISO file or in some cases a file won't be readable by certain virtual drive software if it was made by another software brand, such is the case with Alcohol %120 formatted discs.

Be careful with Daemon Tools products. I've heard they are full of spyware... http://digg.com/security/Daemon_Tools_Goes_Spyware_ http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1367/how ... areadware/ Quote

Keep us updated hei, I have problems with making virtual drives on my system. i have a 32 bit windows vista. i didn't have a problem before i installed a new version of deamon tools and it stuck my system. after i restarted it seems that i can't see any virtual drives with any program (virtual CloneDrive included) in the device manager i see that under storage controllers there is a "!" mark on SCSI/RAID Host Controller and when i press properties it says: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) do you have any ideas? would really appreciate any help Matan Quote
alexmvp Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 @Matan, If I were you I would uninstall Deamon tools and give Magic ISO a try: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microso ... rver-2008/ Let me know if that helps out. Quote
Guest matan504 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 hei alexmvp, Thanks for the fast reply. As I wrote, I already uninstalled the deamon tools and tried magic ISO, alcohol 120% and now virtual CloneDrive. With all of them I get the same problem, in which I can't see the virtual drive in My Computer as I could before the problem. I can't mount images, and in the device manager i see that under storage controllers there is a "!" mark on SCSI/RAID Host Controller and when i press properties it says: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) The SCSI/RAID Host Controller only appears when I ask for a virtual drive, so I guess that's what the system finds when I enable the virtual drive.

goLfie Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 One fix i found was, open up the command prompt and enter these commands. Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON Bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON Bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS Reboot the computer and reinstall, see if it works. Make sure you are really running 32 bit vista, this is known to happen to 64 bit users quite often. Quote
Guest matan504 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Hey, It didn't work, but thanks for trying. And I do have windows 32-bit version. I think I might have some drivers missing in my windows system and need to use "repair" from my windows DVD Quote
shockersh Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 Good option. I've never seen this issue before. Sorry.. Keep us updated! Quote
Guest Animis Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 When all else fails I always stick to the ultimate solution fix for every problem in XP/Vista. Upgrade to Windows 7! (though very few virtual drives are currently compatible with it, actually I havent found out which one works yet) Quote

But yeah it sounds like you have a corrupted ISO file or in some cases a file won't be readable by certain virtual drive software if it was made by another software brand, such is the case with Alcohol %120 formatted discs. I absolutely agree about DT Lite! It has a very friendly UI and it's easy to use! Quote
