    did you install daemon tools or virtual clonedrive? If so, uninstall first.

    Do you have other external drives plugged in? This program is sensitive to the drive letter. Did you do any repartitioning? Either way remap your optical drive to D: and hopefully that'll clear it up.

    Remap your optical drive to D: and try again.

    Control panel...administrative tools...computer management...storage...disk management.

    In there right click on your optical drive and select "change drive letter".

    If something else is already using D: you'll need to change it to something else first.
