Can't mount image.Help!

[Deleted]

Since i've got Windows 7,i can't mount image with any program.
I'll try to explain with case of DAEMON TOOLS Lite.

When i press right click on DTL icon,i go to "Virtual Devices",then i get "Add SCSI Virtual Drive".
After that i get Msg:Unable to add adapter.Reboot is required after previous operation.

Same msg appears after i reboot.

Is there anyone else that had this problem and solved it?

Thanks!

Click Daemon Tools Lite and add it manually instead at the harddrive with a + icon.

That's dumb. I regularly load all my disks as .isos so I don't have to keep the physical copy. Now zip it.

@OP:
I prefer PowerISO. Try that and see if it works, if not we'll go a step further.

NS-ToV_DC_poseden(.mds)

Problem is that for some reason DTLite can't add SCSI Virtual Drive.
I've found my Devices,and seen there's only one which is out of date,it might be that that's causing problems.

File size?

Isn't that an Alcohol rip? Usually there's 2 files, one is a MDF? the other MDS? one of them is like 32kb the other well somewhere nearer the region of whatever you ripped (I'm guessing 2-4gb?). It's also not a SCSI virtual drive, just mount it as a CD. (as my guess is its a DVD rip?)

WHICH IS NOT PIRACY UNLESS YOU SHARE IT!


I'm fairly sure you need to mount the file called: NS-ToV_DC_poseden.mdf

MDS file is an optional media descriptor file that can be generated when creating a disc image from a CD or DVD. The format is a binary file with the magic number "MEDIA DESCRIPTOR" appearing in the beginning of the file. The MDS file contains metadata about the original media, specifically the position of the layer breaks or layer breach bit, a property of the copy protection feature of DVDs. An MDS file is then used in conjunction with its related disc image to re-create the DVD. It is called an MDS file because of its implemented file extension .mds. It could also be described as being an archive file of MDS format

It is in the US. This board is hosted from servers in the US.

Are you seriously telling me in the States that you can't backup your own media in a format of your choosing without violating copyright? Thought the US was meant to be the land of freedom and tolerance?

If it is i'm pretty sure 90% of the country can be thrown in jail today.

Piracy laws protect against distribution, so if you were to burn copies of every disc in your house, as long as no one else uses those discs, then it's not against the law.

Right, thats what I thought :-) So ripping a CD or DVD to your harddrive isn't against any law :-)

Anyway yoitsme had any luck with mounting the .mdf file yet instead of the .mds one?

I have an external that contains copies of ever CD I currently posses, so if it's illegal...

lol....


Anyway my big red thing was to stop all the people jumping on the OP for "Piracy" which I think has been achieved :-)

Misread what you said there. Obviously backing up something you legally own is not illegal in any way.

I guess you restarted your computer for it to take affect? Then:

Open services{
1. Go to admin tools --> computer management --> services and applications --> services:
}
2. Restart the 'Virtual Disk Service' manually, or better make it 'automatic'.

I can't even get to that point,since i don't have any Virtual Drives.

K, download SPDT , uninstall DTL, install SPDT, reboot, re-install DTL, reboot, ??? , works or so I hope!

People need to stop using imageshack, photobucket, etc., etc.

Imgur.com is the best image hosting thing. Period. Unless you have your own web server.

Also, piracy is bad. Unless you're telling me that you magically named your files according to exactly how they appear on torrent sites .. which I doubt.

Just because they appear like that on torrent sites doesn't mean it's ripped for sharing, get off the "OMG PIRATES" bandwagon, please.

mds/mdf and .iso files are the extensions that are used for mounting virtual cd's/dvd's in various programs, and it's not just reserved for pirating.
