Does Nero Multi-Mount work with XP

[Daniel Prince]

Has anyone gotten Nero's Multi-Mount program to work with Nero 5.5.10.58
and Windows XP Home (or any NT based Windows)? If you did, did you have
to do anything special?

I have un-installed Nero, run the General Clean Tool and reinstalled
Nero at least four times. I have attempted to install the Multi Mounter
separately at least six times. I still do not get a "volumes" tab under
properties which is what the Multi Mounter did under Windows 98 SE.

Thank you in advance for all replies.

entertainment system. I immediately wondered exactly how would an
automobile entertain one's rear and would it be safe to drive while
one's rear was being entertained.

Did you download and install the *correct* version?

See http://www.nero.com/us/631940720275822.html for downloads.

Maybe you could better explain just what this utility is for. Nero's =
overly terse description is "This will allow you to access multi session =
CDs". Yeah, so what? I can write multisession CDs using Nero CD =
Burning Software. I can insert them into the CD drive and read them. =
When burning to CD-R[W], I don't close so I can continue writing more =
sessions to add more files later. Is the REAL purpose of this utility =
to give you viritual CD drives (from 1 to 4 of them) that can load =
several types of CD image so that their contents are available without =
using the actual CD media? If so, I use Daemon Tools for that (which =
gives me 4 emulated CD drives and even will help overcome some copy =
protection schemes, like SafeDisc, SecureROM, LaserLock, RMPS, and =
others). I saw Nero's MultiMounter utility awhile ago but could not =
tell from its almost non-existent description what the hell it does.

I installed the one that the site said was for Windows 2000 and XP
(Multimounter_2k_XP.zip).

When I was using Windows 98 SE, I used multi session CDs to backup my
install CDs, some of which have only a few megs of data on them. I was
able to put several such discs on one multi session CD. I used Nero
Multi-Mount to select which disc image Windows sees so that I could
install that program. Now all I can access is the last session on each
disc.

I found that too but it only shows me the last session.

Well, I decided to try it. Downloaded it and edited the .reg file to =
then see that it is supposed to add a handler for a property sheet to a =
Drive object. Went through the convoluted and poorly written =
installation instructions. Took 2 reboots to get the driver loaded. =
However, never saw the Volumes property tab when right-clicking on the =
drive icon in Explorer. Uninstalled it (also took 2 reboots and some =
manual cleanup of the registry and files).

There is a Volumes property tab if you go into Device Manager and look =
at the CD-RW drive. You have to click the Populate button to have it =
scan (there is no dynamic updating). Not really useful information (to =
me). It showed 10MB were used on the CD-R and that was about all the =
useful info it provided, but I can tell that by digging into the CD-RW =
drive using Explorer.
