daemon tools: accidentally removed dvd with mounted iso file on it - windows stuck

[qrpiech]

hi everyone. i have a serious problem and require as much attention as possible. i have mounted an iso file which was recorded on my dvd (did it couple of days ago when i was freeing up space on my disk - i was too lazy to make the image one more time after cleanup was completed so i recorded it on dvd). everything was fine, untill i realized i need newer graphic card drives to play the game. without thinking (unfortunately ) i removed the dvd with iso file (withoun unmounting it) and put in cd with new drivers. after the instalation i had to restart my computer...

after restart my windows were almost dead - everything stopped just a second after desktop with icons appeared, i could only move my mouse and press ctrl+alt+del and get to task manager. unfortunately i wasn't able to close any processes cause while doing that comp stopped repeating at all. at first i thought that maybe my second hard drive (in the pocket) was the cause so i removed it and tried to run windy one more time - with the same effect. then i started thinking like a human and realised that it is because of virtual drive wanting it's iso file back. i also realised that removing second hard drive was the most stupid mistake of them all -the letters of drives and cd-devices have changed because of this maneuvre making it impossible to just reinsert dvd with iso to make everything all right again.

i started windows in safe mode which was behaving quite problematic, just the same as normal mode, but it managed to get into device manager and i tried to turn virtual drive off (as well as removing it) but the comp stucked again. after reboot normal windows started and it succeeded to behave a bit better - now i can run some programs, get in device manager (althoug removing/disabling virtual cd is still impossible) and connect to the net. i wasn't able to close the "daemon.exe" process in task manager as well as i was not able to uninstall it (and manually remove files too). i am not able to get in "my computer" and see the list of my drives too (it gets stuck if i try that). to be honest - i can do hardly anything. i'm wondering now how to solve this situation without reinstalling windows and losing data (which i cannot copy somewhere else because i cant get on my drives :P). can someone suggest a good solution? and please hurry, i don't know how long it will continue running before another crash!

i forgot to mention that daemontools taskbar icon is not present so i cannot unmount image :/

OK I DID IT (physically unpluging my cd drives and then reconnecting them)
