Hello! Tell me please how to install Daemon Tools into the Windows 7 operating system, without subsequent problems with the drive, I also know that some glitches are starting to appear in the Nero program. In general, there are instructions for installing this program on the Internet, but your site, as I understand it, is designed for troubleshooting various problems, so I’m wondering if I won’t have to reinstall the system after installing this disk emulator. I have read more than once on various forums discussions of various problems with such programs.
How to install Daemon Tools
Daemon Tools, one of the best programs for emulating CDs. I want to show you not only the installation process of this program, but also the removal process, as well as how to install the game on your computer using Daemon Tools. But before that, a little and necessary advice from a friend. If you download Daemon Tools from the official website, and there is a free version of the program that works well, by the way, you shouldn’t have any problems. If, for example, you also install Alcohol 120%, again there is nothing wrong with that.

And the problems begin when the user, without uninstalling one version of the Daemon Tools program and all the virtual device drivers in the system, tries install Daemon Tools another version and the same applies to the Alcohol program. The result is that Windows is completely confused in your virtual and real drives and problems with the Nero program. My advice is to create at least a restore point before installing an unfamiliar program; ideally, create a backup of the entire operating system and if something goes wrong, you will always have the opportunity to roll back.

Greetings, dear readers.
Previously, users had the only way to install a game on their computer - to buy or borrow a plastic disc from someone. Today, finding the desired application is much easier - download it from the Internet. True, projects are usually offered on various sites in the form of virtual images. Having Windows 8 or 10 on their device, users can simply click “Engage” on the desired file and everything will work. But what if you have a different OS? Later in the article I will tell you how to install the game via Daemon Tools on any unit.
So, as mentioned above, to use virtual disks you must have the appropriate program. Today there are many of them. I'll tell you about Daemon Tools Lite. This version is free and as simplified as possible. At the same time, it has all the tools that are necessary to perform simple tasks with electronic storage media.
Of course, there are several more versions of the application, for example, Ultra. Developers offer greater opportunities for working with images. But at the same time they ask for financial compensation for use. Undoubtedly, you can find a “cracked” project on the Internet, but no one can guarantee the quality of the work. In addition, attackers often hide malicious code in such programs. It can not only steal important information from you, but also completely damage your computer. So the choice is yours.
Today, different versions of the free application are offered. For example, it could be Lite 10.1. Although at the time of writing this article modification 10.5 is already offered. At the same time, Lite 10.4 is considered popular - it fixes many minor errors, and it shows the maximum speed.
Well, it's time to move directly to the program itself.
Installation( )
Usage( )
To interact with virtual disks, we perform several movements:
If the project comes on 2 disks, at some point the application will ask you to insert a second one. To do this, call the context menu on the virtual drive and select “ Unmount" Using the algorithm described earlier, insert a continuation. If there are 3 disks - everything is the same - change one by one.
It’s also convenient that you can burn the image onto a flash drive, insert it into your device and install the game directly from the portable memory - without a disk. True, the time will most likely increase, since the computer will still have to read the information and immediately convert it.
My name is Sergey and I have a question for you. How to install a game using DAEMON Tools? I have an old game, I really like it, I bought it a long time ago, it starts only if there is a CD in the drive. A friend advised me to make a disk image and run the game from it, since naturally the disk does not last forever, it can get scratched or lost, and I haven’t seen this game in stores for a long time. I know there is nothing illegal in this. The image was made in Nero. After some time, I reinstalled Windows and could not install my game again from the CD; it gives a CRC data transfer error. I remembered the image and was happy, but soon realized that DAEMON Tools, Alcohol 120%, was a dark forest for me. Tell me what should I do next?

In general, this is a very good and useful program, see for yourself when you figure it out, so let’s get started.

Games downloaded from the Internet are often recorded in ISO file format. They can be extracted using a regular archiver, for example WinRAR.

In a new window, expand the directory with the downloaded ISO file. Select it and click "Open". The drive with the game image will appear in the list of PC devices, open it and install it.
When the installation is complete, it is advisable to remove the virtual disk drive. To do this, launch DT Lite again. Hover your mouse over the device at the bottom of the window. Right-click on it and select the option "Unmount", and then "Delete".
Important: a failure may occur during the opening of the disk image. You can solve it according to the instructions outlined in the article “Access Denied Error in DAEMON Tools.” But first, restart your computer and try again.

About, how to install the game via Daemon Tools, as well as how to work with the utility in the future so that the downloaded project works properly, will tell you.
How to install game content
To install the game on a PC, you need its image. You can get it in two ways:
- do it yourself;
- download from the web.
To implement the first method, you need a physical optical media from which you can make a copy. In the second case, well-known torrent sites are used. From there, download the required file using various torrent trackers, for example, uTorrent, Zona, MediaGet, etc.
If there is no access to torrent resources, it is recommended to use the Tor browser or popular VPN clients to bypass the blocking.
After the image is created or downloaded, open the utility. The process is the same for its paid and free versions, the only difference will be in the interface and the location of the necessary tools. In the Lite version, the actions are as follows.
Launch the program, click “Quick Mount” at the bottom left of the screen.

A notification will appear stating that a new disk has been detected, after which it will autostart or a window will open asking you to select the necessary actions with the media.
