TP> [Greg Lozier]
I installed spambayes today and while installing I received an error message that there is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \device\harddisk1\dr3. I cancel the error message it finish loading. It is operational in outlook 2000 now, but when I start outlook I get the above error message. After hitting cancel a few times it will go away and outlook will load.
What is causing this error?
TP> Sorry, beats me -- never heard of anything like this, and it's hard to TP> imagine how it's *possible*. Which version of Windows was this? Do you, by TP> any chance, run a Windows version of XEmacs? (I ask this because the top TP> hit on a google search for "harddisk1" is a thread about problems with TP> No disk in device\harddisk1\dr1 TP> error msgs popping up after installing an old version of XEmacs. They TP> solved the problem by assigning their Zip drive to a different letter. TP> Google turns up several other hits on installation programs triggering this TP> bizarre msg too; I didn't find a satisfying explanation.) This error occurs when code is attempting to access a hard drive which physically doesn't exist in a machine and there is a removable drive like a zip drive at the drive location. eg. Code is trying to access a hard drive d: and there is no such hard drive, but there is a zip drive d:. Inserting a zip disk works around getting the error. That's about as much as I know. -- Best regards, Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows - the programmers editor, an indispensable tool for great software development. http://www.getsoft.com Version 4.02 now available.
