Dear members of PlanetAMD64 community, I have finally managed to mount a virtual CD/DVD drive on Windows XP x64 thanks to Mr. Gilles Vollant who re-compiled the original 32-bit FileDisk to x64 version. In other words, you can now mount your CD/DVD ISO, BIN images to your precious x64 Windows system. Follow this procedure (PART 1): 1.) Download ?filedisk_modbin64_tray.zip? file from http://www.winimage.com/misc/filedisk_modbin64_tray.zip 2.) Unpack the downloaded archive to following directory: ?C:\Program Files\FileDisk? (or any other you want). 3.) Now, in that directory, you will find a sub-dir named ?x64?. Open it (or enter into it). Inside, you can see 3 files: ?fdtray.exe, FileDisk.exe and filedisk.sys. 4.) Click Start button and choose Run icon. In ?Run? command line paste this ?%systemroot%\system32\drivers\? (without quotes -> ??). This will open following dir/map ?C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers? 5.) To that dir/map COPY the ?filedisk.sys? file from STEP 3 above (from mentioned ?C:\Program Files\FileDisk\x64? directory)!!! 6.) Now, in directory ?C:\Program Files\FileDisk? you?ll find a file named ?filedisk.reg?. Double click on it to run it and that will IMPORT ?filedisk.reg? into the Registry. 7.) On your desktop, create a shortcut linked to following file: ?C:\Program Files\Filedisk\x64\fdtray.exe? 8.) Finally, REBOOT your system!!! After-Restart procedure (PART 2): 1.) Double click on the created icon on your desktop. Notice the small new icon on your tray bar, near the clock. Right click on it 2.) Select ?Mount new image? 3.) AND THAT?S IT FOLKS!!! How to UN-MOUNT or uninstall the image drive??? (The only way to do it!!!) 1.) Open the MS-DOS prompt/console window. 2.) You should be in root dir, ex. ?C:\? HINT: To get there write ?cd:\? 3.) Write following command ?cd program files\filedisk\x64? 4.) Now, write command: ?filedisk /umount g:? (?g:? is the letter of your virtual image device!!! It may be any other you have chosen before!!!). ENJOY YOUR VIRTUAL IMAGING. |

Another Option is Virtual ISO, which is far more capable and includes CD Burning and Support for more image formats including MDF/MDS Images. QUOTE(TomCat_Ri @ Jun 6 2005, 01:56 PM) Dear members of PlanetAMD64 community,

Nope. If you're trying to install a multi-cd game off of disk images, you can't unmount with Winimage, or from the command line. This really sucks a bag of rocks for me, since I lost one of my NWN CD's, but got an image of the missing one from a friend. I still can't install it, bah.

you could use this technique : open a command prompt creat a virtual dribe with windows with the subst command (example : subst z: o:\ would create a virtual drive on letter z: using o:\ as a path to the files, including all the O:\ information (label, volume number, etc..) then, when the setp asks for inserting next CD of your game, first type subst z: /d to un-create drive Z:, then rinse and repeat with the new drive letter as seen above. Hope it'll help |

It would help if the guys at DAEMON and Alcohol would hurry up a bit. Virtual ISO doesn't emulate protections very well. Alcohol still works on x64 without the emulation part. When it gets to the error in the install, go into Program files (x86) and copy the Alcohol files somewhere else, cancel the installation and run Alcohol. Still would help if I could emulate the images :( |

This soft is nice and all... but a bit clunky (and doesn't support multi-cd install). Checkout this post I made in the Apps section if you want a very nice x64 Virtual Drive that supports Multi-CD installations. It also doesn't require so much finess in getting it to work properly. http://www.planetamd64.com/index.php?showtopic=10193 |

QUOTE(malevolence @ Aug 12 2005, 06:21 AM) Hi guys download virtual ISO [removed] sorry to say but this crappy program you call Virtual ISO sucks big time, it won't even start the Virtual DVD driver. My guess is that this bug puts this tool in the useless category.

Filedisk worked perfectly for me. Exactly what I want, just finished a virtual 3 cd installation, mounted all 3 of them. Simple and easy

Fantom DVD works great for me. It even supports Alcohol 120% images, and many others and the best thing is it is free unlike Virtual ISO

I didn't quite understand what Tara Reid's fake boob had to do with virtual drive software, but I might be missing something...

Got it? P.S. I hope your problem is not piracy related in any way! I hope it is just a backup as you said! This post has been edited by Pyr0: Sep 13 2005, 08:05 AM |
