Well, I could just admit that I messed up, but where's the fun in that? :)

BTW, about Macrium, their support forum is only accessible to users that have a paid license. When you are in the 30 days evaluation method, you cannot ask any question. Not cool. Especially since I have one : when I mount a virtual drive from an image, I cannot unmount it, it doesn't appear in the mounted drive window. Am I the only one to see this ?
All these image software tend to show their limits when it comes to image mounting. I recommend to all to verify this feature works well on their system, and not only the basic backup/restore.

I am sorry to have to ask you guys to explain to me what it is to mount an image? I really don't understand the expression. :-[

On Windows 7 32 bit and Vista64 it works as advertised. I can remove it from the Restore tab of the program or just leave it until I reboot. It would be nice if they had an Unmount as well as Mount in the Explorer shell integration though.
edit: I just looked on the Macrium forum and they say an Explorer command to unmount a mounted image is on the ToDo list.

The image file Macrium creates when it does a backup can be mounted so that it shows as a read-only drive in Explorer. Say you backup up to a folder on an external USB drive. You can right click on the image file in that folder and mount it. It is assigned a new drive letter. If you want to copy a file out you just click through the directory structure as if it was a drive, down the folder chain to the file you want.
