Why I Ditched Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120%


Recommended Posts

You know, it's obvious that you don't want to switch, so why not stop hassling the people in here who do want to use it?

All I need in mounting software is to be able to mount, and unmounted. And apparently, I'm not alone with that. So therefore, this app does what I want, and consequently, it does what they want. This is open and shut, so if you could politely refrain from the DT stuff, that would be nice :)

So I can't discuss on a discussion forum with people who come with outlandish claims which are even false.... or do you just want your other viewpoint visible here.

If he didn't want to use a crippled DT lite, and then choose to use another app instead which is even more crippled by design. I just want to know what features he finds so awesome, despite not existing.

Gee, look at you getting all fired up. I didn't realize we had to have such religious authority to image mounting software that we had to defend their honor. :rolleyes:

Actually, rather than start a war with people, I'd rather people read my first post, you know, where I say all that I wanted from mounting software was to be able to mount, and unmount. I don't want to have to deal with STPD, I don't want to have to restart, I don't want a separate program, and I don't need that many features.

Anyways, continue bickering, see if I care. What matters to me is that I shared something and people found it useful.

And I wasn't dfiscussing with you, I was discussing the topic with someone else in this topic.

As I said, enjoy being fascist about image mounting software, see if I care. I made the polite suggestion that perhaps you should leave it alone, and you still seem to find the need to defend your software of choice. Yeah, you're discussing the topic with someone else, but this is my topic. I made it to help people out, not start a debate :unsure:

Since I apparently am the one who's so religiously overprotective about my software you had to start this argument with me in a completely unrelated thread just because you saw my name in a reply to someone else, I figured I'd bring it back where it belongs. (yes, that's sarcasm)

No, you were mad because he called your beloved DT Lite "crippled" and you were hurt and angry about it. I was annoyed because I didn't put the thread in software discussion because I was offering it as a suggestion for people who only required what I did, which I CLEARLY stated in my first post, but obviously you missed that part.

No I asked him what was so crippled about it, since he chose another software, which by design is more crippled. making his whole argument flawed.

and you posted your "suggestion" on a DISCUSSION forum. meaning other people are allowed to post their opinions and discuss why they should use this over other software that does the same thing, and even more, on the same resources. But hey, I suppose only your opinion should be voiced. and maybe we should instead of discussing the merits of the different softwares in a thread you created talking about how this was apparently better than everything else, we should create a different thread for each softwre with rules that the others can't be mentioned... makes sense....

Seriously, get a grip. and next time you feel the urge to troll me just because you see my name in another unrelated thread where I reply to someone else. just send me a PM or something instead of derailing another thread huh...

Can you use this without installing stuff to context menu's? I absolutely hate apps that install stuff to the context menu.

....That's....the whole point. The app has no GUI. The context menu entry will ONLY show up when you right click any of the supported file formats.

Also a SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive user. Pretty simple and easy as well. I'll give it a look.

Virtual CloneDrive + ImgBurn for me.

Agreed. Both small and easy to use. Got to love ImgBurn. What I don't miss about daemon tools is the irritating driver install. It just got annoying after awhile.

Interesting find, I've been using SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive in-place of Daemon Tools Lite for some time now (only switched because ImgBurn stopped burning correctly). I will definitely check this out. Thanks ;)

That's what I use, really like it, been using since I ran the Windows 7 beta and Daemon Tools wasn't compatible

    • I disagree here sorry. The majority of their customers are corporations who are locked in to their eco system and have no choice. Private individuals don't contribute that much to their income.
    • Weekend PC Game Deals: Anno 117, Final Fantasy VII, Rematch, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets. The Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways may have ended, but its regular freebies didn't miss a step this week. The double drop was for copies of Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. Speed Freeks lands for multiplayer racing fans, but with plenty of competitive shooting elements too. You will be piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures while trying to complete objectives and pass finish lines. Next, Ouroboros King is a crossover between chess and tactical roguelikes, offering the chance to create your own army with special rules to beat incoming foes on the board. The double giveaway on the Epic Games Store will be available until June 11, and replacing it will be Citizen Sleeper and ROBOBEAT. The Humble Store brought a new charity bundle to check out this week too. Landing with the name The Complete Inkle Library, this is a large collection of interactive narrative puzzle games from the publisher Inkle. This begins with Heaven's Vault, four parts from the Sorcery series, 80 Days, Overboard, and Pendragon: Narrative Tactics within the starting tier for $9. Hopping up a step to the $12 tier gets you TR-49, Expelled, and A Highland Song for paying at least $12. If you go for the $20 tier, you get four e-books from the Heaven's Vault series. The bundle has almost three weeks on its counter before it goes away.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
