Not sure about Vista, But I know in XP (I had simillar issues with alcohol 120) open up decvice manager and remove/uninstall the scsi & Raid controler for your vitrual drive.

daemon tools was installed on fresh vista (not xp, then upgrade to vista?), u can try this *www.softpedia.com/get/File-managers/Virtual-Drive-Explorer.shtml but as you can see the release date is 04 and therefore not to sure if it will function with Vista ('supposedly' you can remove virtual drivs with it) browsing the web seems like a few people have your exact same issue, stupid Vista!
