Now final

No more need to use the crappy daemon tools (spyware bundled (sure it's optional), restart required, ugly interface)

Virtual CloneDrive is light, sleek, doesn't require a restart upon install, and just 'works'

Why use this instead of DT?

kmufc77 · 2 Jul 2008 at 23:44

i wouldnt bother using it ive had lots of problems with the beta 64 bit vista version ranging from BSOD to winload exe. problems when the drive and software was uninstalled and disabled my system returned to normal without any problems

bledd · 2 Jul 2008 at 23:57

i got the bsod too

looks like it's a high system ram problem (4gb + over) lot have reported it on their forum, so it'll get sorted

DT is perfect... whats "unclean" about it?

bledd · 3 Jul 2008 at 12:29

edit: looks like i got a little over excited. BSOD when i tried to mount an iso. BSOD as soon as windows rebooted into the desktop. boot into safe mode, yet another BSOD (how the hell did it load in safe mode??? )

tried last known good configuration and i was able to remove it.

Same here, back to DT for now. This is on Vista Ultimate x64.

You can turn off the tray icon, and cleaner ebcause you don't need to restart to install? :rolleyes:

Just to correct you, you don't need to restart when you install Daemon Tools. It's SPTD that needs the restart.

If you have another app that installs that (and a lot of CD/DVD tools do) then DT will install and run without a restart.
