!HaGar! again bumpin´ this thread...

As I posted above I had the problem, that VD10 (trial-version) doesn´t recognize it´s own virtual drive as a virtuall, so it doesn´t allow to mount anything in it.

As john486496 mentioned that the image-engine of VD10 should be able to create working starforce-images, i decided to investigate more time in VD10...

First off, I imaged my Worms 4 Mayhem disc with the VD10 ripping function, but, as already said, I couldn´t mount the image because of the missing vdrive.

So I tried to add another virtual drive. Rebooted. Nothing happened! No new drive were added. Well... Doesn´t really know why... Tried the procedere once more... But again: Nothing. Just the "first" "physical vdrive" stayed alive in my explorer.

Then I swapped the discs in my DVD-Burner because I need to copy a file... And then it happened... My system screwed up and died with a bluescreen!
This was the first bsod I met EVER on this machine!

Well, was pissed and slammed the reset. Windows came up with checkdisk on drive D: (ntfs!)... Okay, let windows run through it... Welcome screen appears, tray proggies comin´up... and BOOM! System blowed again...

Next try... Checkdisk coming up again, traytools loading... BSOD. Different reason this time as the errorcode that something about calling a bad block...

Okay... Tried secure mode... Whouw! Checkdisk again... Welcome-Screen... Wham! System rebooted without any report...

Ok... So what to do... First off: Disconnected "faulty" harddisk. System boots up without checkdisc (sure!), but bsod returns again...

Disconnected DVD-Burner this time... Reboot. System runs without any problems now... Connected my burner again... BSOD returns also...

Ok, to sum the story up: Rebooted again without my burner to let windows stay alive... Deinstalled VD10 and (nearly) all problems disappeared...
Burner works again, all harddrives are fine... But I had to force chkdsc via registry to not check d: at each reboot - don´t know what happened during the first crash at all...

But it seems the buggy VD10-driver (didn´t work properly on my system from the beginning) screwed something up here.

So just use this software on your own risk!

HaGaR out

Hi,

I tried exactly what is posted but it still doesn't work . I think too many DVD drives. (They keep respawning after using Starforce).

But I still thank you for your time into testing.

Cheers,
