Disk Error Message in Photoshop 5.0 LE

Hello,
I scanned an image at 1200 dpi (Windows reports the file size as 165 MB) and tried to open it in Photoshop and got this message:
Disk error –36 while reading or writing virtual memory file. Sorry, but this error is fatal.
I've tried changing the paging file size. I've set both my C drive and a partition (F) to 4096 MB. I also went into "Preferences/Plug-ins and Scratch Disks" and set the Primary and Secondary to the drives mentioned above, and still get the same error message.
What am I doing wrong? The only thing I can think of is that my computer is an older one (only a 500 mhz processor) but I don't think that should matter - then again I've never scanned at this high a resolution before either.....
Thanks!

I'm surprised PS even runs on that computer although of course 5.0 LE is pretty old.
A 165 MB file may just be too much for it.
How can you "set your c drive to 4096MB"? Do you mean Paging file?
We need someone with a long memory to chime in, but you do need to clarify what you are doing.

'No Disk' error message on Photoshop startup

Recently I have been receieving the following error message when Photoshop CS6 x64 srtarts up on my Windows 7 machine. Ps resides on my SSD.
I don't always get the message but when I press X, Cancel, Try Again, or Continue the message repeats until finally Ps starts. I'm not sure what drive \Device\Harddisk3\Dr3 is supposed to mean. Does anyone have a clue what Ps is complaining about?

I realize this is a mighty old thread, but I've recently had the same issue with Illustrator CSS 2014, and this is the only thread I could google that dealt with it.
I scratched my head for a while on this, but I think I figured out the issue. At least I think I figured it out on my end. The error comes from the "recently opened" menu as far as I can tell. I had an old external hard-drive that I was browsing some old work on. I unplugged it when done and continued to go along with my newer work the next day. When I attempted to save my newer work in Illustrator, I got the "no disk" message several times, but powered through it with "try again" till it saved.
I'm thinking the error is just the system bumping the file that I had recently opened and now cannot locate slowly down and eventually off the "recently opened" menu. Not sure why Windows is smart enough to bypass this error sometimes and not others with most portable drives, but perhaps its an issue with how old this drive was, or perhaps because I did not properly eject the drive. Networked drives being connected and not connected may cause a similar issue. Not sure.

No Disk error Messages in PSE8

On and off I keep getting the following error message when I switch between Edit and Orgainzier in PSE8
and sometime other times. Photoshop ElementsOrgainzer.exe-No Disk There is no disk in the
drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk4\DR4.
I have to hit Cancel 3-4 times to get rid of it.
What is this and how do I stop it? Tks. ALan

I have recently experienced this message repeatedly in PSE6 running on Vista. I believe after either saving a file from PSE6 to a floppy in drive A or opening a file in PSE6 from an SD memory card in drive J. Resolved by recreating both situations then ensuring that i used photoshop to open files from and save files to the resident C drive before removing the floppy disk from drive A and using the 'safely remove hardware' function in Vista to confirm that it was safe to remove the SD card.
Following this procedure I have experienced no more 'no disk error messages'

Susan, May i know the operating system on which you are trying to install PS CC 2014?
Check Event Viewer for the Faulty module and share that information with me. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427

I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months. Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all. What can I do to open the program?

Thank you for responding. Nothing actually worked! After reading the posts online, I called Apple. They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades. The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did! But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

Disk error message in Organizer

When I open Organizer in Acrobat Pro 9, I get a No Disk error message:
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Devise\Harddisk\DR1" with buttons to Cancel, Try Again, Continue.
If I cancel [and I have to cancel twice for each error message, the message changes to ...Harddisk2\DR2 through to Harddisk4\DR4.
I always get there in the end, but how can I stop the error messages appearing in the first place? It's incredibly irritating!
There are no preferences for Organizer, and nothing I can see in the Acrobat preferences that would help.

They're not available because photoshop.com is dead and gone, and any photos there are moved to revel, which you can't access through PSE versions prior to PSE 11. You should have received a bunch of emails about this back when it was happening.

Photoshop.com is no longer available. The service transferred to Revel.
Ignore the sign-in altogether.
You may need to turn off Sync in Organizer prefs if you have it activated.

What happened? Tried to open Elements 8 and error message says "Photoshop has stopped working."

The Welcome screen somes up but then fades and error message says "Photoshop has stopped working." Then Windows closes the program.
I shut down the computer, waited, then did restart, clicked on PSE, and the same message came up again. That was last night, thought I might get a message this morning, but same thing happened again. I'm trying to not panic - this is all new to me.
Any help welcome!

If you have not updated to the most current version, you might try that.

"Missing Disks" Error Message - Unable to open FCP

Every time I tried to open FCP, a "missing disks" error message shows up and prevents me from opening the application. It says, "To preserve the integrity of the date used by Final Cut Pro, it is necessary to ensure the existence of the following path(s):" and it says "Macintosh HD is offline." There are two options for the error message, "Check Again" or "Reset Scratch Disks." When I click "Check Again," nothing happens. When I click, "Reset Scratch Disks", it takes me to a "Scratch Disks" window, which shows, "9.8GB on Macintosh HD is offline." I click "OK", but it only takes me back the same "missing disks" error message. What should I do to solve this error and open FCP?
Thanks in advance.

Hi -
If you are mid-project, then first I would find your project file and make a duplicate by Control-clicking on it, and selecting Duplicate. You can rename that new file so it is easy to remember. Once that is done, you have a protection back up of your project file so that whatever happens, you can recover back to this point in your project by opening the duplicated file.
Selecting (or Re-Selecting) a Scratch Disk does not affect what has been done in a project's past, it will only affect what FCP will do once it is launched and where it will place media and renders as you go forward.
A bigger concern/interest to me is why the disk Macintosh HD is offline, since Macintosh HD is usually the name of the internal system disk on your computer.
Have you renamed your internal hard disk (either intentionally or unintentionally)?
Do you have external disks connected to your computer?
Have you installed any new software - like Snow Leopard, or Fusion?
If you have had the disk Macintosh HD selected as your scratch disk all throughout your project up to this point, it is likely that the disk Macintosh HD has your captured footage and renders. So . . . if it is off-line as a scratch disk, once you reset your scratch disk to an available drive and open your project, it is likely that the project will show that all your media, which it previously associated with the missing disk is offline as well.
If that is the case, you will need to reconnect your media and re-render your renders. This can be done by selecting your offline clips and Control clicking on one of them and selecting Reconnect Media . . .
*If you are not feeling confident about proceeding, I would recommend a trip to an Apple store to get someone to walk you through the process.*
Hope this helps.

Windows - No Disk error message when connecting Ipod to computer

I recently connected my Ipod to the Computer as I have done for the last year and I am now getting an error message reading: "Windows - No Disk". It then asks me to insert a disk. I cannot cancel out, continue or retry which are the three choices. I eventually have to Ctrl + Alt + Del to close out Itunes. Can anyone help? Thank You.

I have been ejecting it. This problem only began recently. I read through about 30 pages of this forum and found someone postoing about the same problem. They said it may be McAfee Viruscan in the background.I'll check that out.

"Windows - No Disk" error message on file transfer

Hello!
I updated our ZDM7 server from plain old ZDM7 with no updates to ZDM7 SP1
IR1. Now, when initiating File Transfer operation with any workstation, up

"Windows - No Disk"
"Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c"

If I click "Continue" 4 times, file transfer starts up successfully.
Any ideas about how to get rid of this annoying message?

In LR5 i do: Merge to HDR Pro. After I apply my preset and PS attempts to convert HDR file, I get an error message from PS: "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working". Then PS Closes.

As the crash report says - your outdated video card driver is crashing. You need to update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website (AMD/ATI in this case).

"Can't read or write to disk" error message

hi...
got my husband a 16g nano and i'm trying to sync his songs. i have the newest version of itunes installed. it put almost half of the songs on the nano and all of a sudden itunes has an error that says something about "can't write to nano. disk is not readable or writeable." i can view the nano contents, but i can't add to it and it will not let me sync it anymore.
does anyone have any suggestions? thanks!

thanks jason,
i looked at the tips page you suggested and i tried it again on my new laptop and it still won't work. i'm going to try to restore it and then put it on the laptop again, hopefully that will work.
the odd thing is it will start to sync and it comes up with the error message about half way through syncing (half the songs do make it to the ipod.) why can't it sync the whole way?? i'm perplexed.
