True, alot of people make clones of their purchased games...

Exactly....I run 2 VeliciRaptors in a RAID0 and like to run my PURCHASED games from the RAID0 instead of my cd/dvd drive. I am running Win_7 x64bit and I have tried almost all of the ones mentioned in this thread, and none of them were able to successfully mount an image of one of my games. VirtualClone and a few others work, but they cannot handle the game's copy protection like DaemonTools or Alcohol could (I used to run Alcohol52 to run my games.

However, what really sucks is that Punkbuster does not work with Win_7 either, so even when I try to play using my dvd, Punkbuster keeps kicking me from playing (2142 for the most part).

Windows 7 support is work in progress, depending on the test results a beta driver may be released soon (NO ETA!).

That said 2 days ago the developer of SPTD For windows 7. I think soon we'll have Daemon Tools for Win7!

CloneDrive doesn't work for me, especially with my CDI images.

I am using UltraISO now and zero problems!

Cool. But a link to the page is safer. I never download an exe from any post on any forum, no matter who posts it.

I got Daemon Tools Lite to install and work correctly in Windows 7 after doing a google search on the issue.

Had to make a registry modification to uninstall all instances of SPTD then update to latest SPTD then install Daemon Tools again. Worked a Charm. Hope this helps. Hapy Computing :) ::Cheers::

To get Daemon Tools to install and work on Windows 7 without screwing anything up, you need to install the newest version of the SPTD driver from DuplexSecure:

Get the appropriate version, install it, then reboot. Then you can install the newest version of Daemon Tools (it shouldn't try to install the SPTD driver again).

Also, to Shivek, that includes Daemon Tools lite. That's the version I'm using. Installing the newest SPTD driver from DuplexSecure should eliminate any previous issues with Daemon Tools on Windows 7.

I haven't read through all of the posts but Daemon tools works fine here.. running Windows 7 RTM x64 .. the box will pop up about compatibility issues but I just continue...

Yep, as above, works here as well in Win 7 x64.

Windows 7 support was added in builds:

DAEMON Tools Pro version 4.35.0306

DAEMON Tools Lite Version 4.30.4

Does anyone know how to install Daemon Tools on Windows 7? The Scsi emulation driver keeps failing! or does anyone know any alternative ISO mount tools that I can use in Windows 7?

I tried a few times to install daemon tools on windows 7 without any luck.I had the same problem.Forget daemon tools it is just not compatable with win 7 even retail version.Daemon tools used to be free now they are charging for it.Just download a better virtual drive software.It is called MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-mag...sc-overview.htm .It works like a charm and totally free

They've been selling versions for years, it's not new. The Lite version, however, is still free and contains everything most people want. It's also fully compatible with Windows 7 (because it has been updated since this thread was created over a year ago), despite what you claim. I am running it right now.

Virtual CloneDrive is another free alternative, although not as advanced as DT.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
