Sorry, beats me -- never heard of anything like this, and it's hard to
imagine how it's *possible*.  Which version of Windows was this?  Do you, by
any chance, run a Windows version of XEmacs?  (I ask this because the top
hit on a google search for "harddisk1" is a thread about problems with

    No disk in device\harddisk1\dr1

error msgs popping up after installing an old version of XEmacs.  They
solved the problem by assigning their Zip drive to a different letter.
Google turns up several other hits on installation programs triggering this
bizarre msg too; I didn't find a satisfying explanation.)
