I have recently upgraded to Win XP directly from Win ME.
Every time I try to run an application from the CD Rom (and
occasionally from the hard drive), I get the following error:
Explorer.exe - No Disk.
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive A:.
I can "Cancel", "Try Again" or "Continue". All three just bring the
same dialog box up again. Note that this is NOT the same message I
gbet when I try to access "A:\" drive directly with no disk inserted).
And when I run these applications, windows does try to access A:\
drive (if I have a disk in the drive, it checks it, then starts the
program normally).
I saw a suggestion that it may be because A:\ drive is included in
either the path statement in system properties, or in the autoexec.bat
file. It is in neither of these.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated - I don't want to have to disable
the A:\ drive - I still get some use out of it!
