x64: cracking the windows open

Missing in action: Virtual drive software

A 64-bit version of Daemon Tools is still being developed and therefore still not available - the same seems to be the case with Alcohol 120%. This can present a problem - for some a major problem! - for those dependent on virtual drives.

In fact, it seems that so far that there is only one virtual drive application that works on 64-bit Windows: FileDisk - download a 64-bit compilation of FileDisk here. However it is extremely primitive. It has to be installed manually, and mounting and unmounting images is not as you are used to from Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120%. BUT IT WORKS, and that is a life saver for many!
