Hi,

After going thru the procedure you have mentioned I was able to mount my ISO file to ‘z’ drive. But after I mount an ISO file I was not able to see the ‘z’ drive. Please help.

@Poov
If you are experiencing problems with the softwares, you can try the Virtual Clone drive software.
I also faced same issues and then found this new software on internet and wrote about the steps i followed here:

I am also getting the same error “driver has been blocked from loading error”. I am doing it on Vista Business OS. This is happening even after selecting “Run as Administrator”

I know it has been awhile since anyone has posted here, but still hoping there may be help.

I am able to install the driver, but when I click start I get an error message saying, “This driver has been blocked from loading.”. I am running VCd Control as the administrator.

Anyone else experience this? Thank you in advance.

You might be running your operating system other than administrator. You should log in as Administrator or right click on the program and select "Run as.." from the list and select Administrator. This should solve your problem. Get back to me if you are still facing problem.

Having the same problem as Hibab here. Clicking on Driver Control brings up the message “Cannot Open SCM: Access is denied”, and pointing to the .sys files brings up “The handle is invalid.”

Hello naveen this seems very user friendly, but when i click on driver control i get “Cannot open SCM Access Denied” Then goes to the browser, i go into my folder click on “VCdrom.sys” file and get “Handle is invalid” and in the little install driver box it says Virtual CD rom not installed. Help?

Are you sure that it is a supported file? It only supports .udf, .cdfs, .jo, .iso, and .rock extensions.

Hi when I got to the last step, I clicked mount, then found my file and pressed open for that, and then when i pressed ok on the special mount options window it says mount failed.

Any ideas?

This is very up-to-date information. I think I’ll share it on Twitter.

Hi!

Thanks for the easy to understand instructions regarding mounting a virtual CD/DVD with Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel. I did not have a DVD at hand and it worked nicely.

Best regards Kalle
