Virtual Disk Drive
-
Saturday, January 10, 2009 8:38 AMSlysoft Virtual Clone Drive fails to work on the x64 version of 7 Beta. Works just fine on x86, as well as on the pre-beta's. On Beta1 x64 however, it installs but locks the PC during shutdown or restart. It also locks any uninstallation attempts. After a hard reset, you have to enter safe mode and do a restore to a previous state. Very annoying, considering Daemon Tools does not work with any of the Win 7 versions. Ultra ISO works fine, however, it doesn't label the media, meaning you cannot do multi-disk installs.
Can we get a fix?- Changed Type Ronnie VernonMVP, Moderator Monday, January 12, 2009 10:14 PM

Saturday, January 10, 2009 10:06 PM I did in fact try the 5.4.1.4 beta also... same issue. It will hang on shutdown (or restart) and after a very long wait will give a BSOD. I tried again after a format and clean install. I made sure to install Virtual Clone first so as to avoid possible application incompatibilities. Same issue. It's an issue with driver incompatibility I believe. edit: It gives a Driver_Power_State_Failure BSOD.
@GreyWolfSC - have you tried installing Virtual Clone on x64 Win 7?

Saturday, January 10, 2009 2:50 PMThe latest beta (5.4.1.4) supports x64 and works with Windows 7. The program and information is in SlySoft's forum here.

Saturday, January 10, 2009 3:28 PMMagicDisc 64-bit does the exact same thing as the current release version of CloneDrive. I ended up using PismoMount to get the job done. I'm glad to know the latest CloneDrive works (even though its a beta).

Sunday, January 11, 2009 12:57 AMOk, got Virtual Clone to work. Anytime you make changes, such as changing the number of drives, it locks up... And will keep doing so unless you go into safe mode and restart it from there. The reason i'm assuming is that it needs to complete a reboot properly in order to make the necessary changes, and since it won't let you complete a proper reboot under normal conditions, you have to boot into safe mode to complete one.

Magic Disk 2.715 installs, mounts, but does nothing/hangs when attempting to access the drive. It also won't uninstall from the programs control panel. (Executable in program files) -

Thanks for the mention of PismoMount. I really like the simplicity of this product; and the fact that it works in w7. -

Daemon Tools does not install, because SPTD does not support Windows 7 Beta and they are not willing to (even they are "almost" on every computer, even BETA). See http://forum.duplexsecure.com/showthread.php?t=537 and http://forum.daemon-tools.cc/f19/daemon-tools-windows-7-a-22576/
I have also tried running the installer it as admin with Vista compatibility enabled.
Btw. do you know another comparable solution, so I might consider moving to their competitors?
