I've been trying to get some of my old PC games up and running (well ... I can't think of what else I'd use Windows for) but have been having trouble with Civ III, which can't find the CD in the drive even though I start it from the CDROM. I thought I would try to get around any CDROM problems by using a CDROM disk image created and mounted inside Alcohol 52% (I do this with games on my PC laptop for when I have to travel, it avoids having to carry CDROMs around - I'm not pirating them, and although I might be on shaky ground legally, I personally think making a backup is fair use, but IANAL.). But when I try to create a virtual drive in Alcohol 52%, I get the message "SCSI/RAID Host Controller cannot be stopped ... " and there is no drive on which to mount the disk image. Has anyone on this forum or in Parallels tried using Alcohol 52% or 120%?
I tried it too. Doesn't work. Neither does Daemon tools. They both seem to use a similar technique with a fake SCSI device which doesn't seem to work. Meanwhile, Windows XP keeps asking me if I want to reboot to finish installing the device, which doesn't help.
