Windows "No Disk in Drive" error
I'm having some issues with the Enable Disk Use feature and Windows. I have a 5th Gen 30gb iPod. My preferences are set to 1) Open iTunes when this iPod is connected; and 2) Only sync checked items. Enable Disk Use is not checked.
Here's what's happening:
If I manually Sync my iPod, a Windows error pops up "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive G:. Cancel/Try Again/Continue"...so I cancel out of the error and My Computer shows my G: drive as my iPod...even though I don't have "Enable Disk Use" checked.
I've also had this same error if iTunes is open and then I plug my iPod into a USB port.
My workaround is to enable disk use, apply changes to my iPod and then disable disk use and apply changes. This works but I'm wondering/hoping that there is a more permanent solution to this problem. It's annoying.
Anybody??
Thanks!

Adobe Premiere 12 No Disk in Drive Error
I have just installed APE 12 on a Windows 7 PC from a DVD purchased from Amazon. The installation was successful with no error messages. When I open APE I get an error message saying "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR2. I can get to the program by clicking Cancel or Continue on the error message several times. The same error occurs when I exit the program and I have to click several times to get rid of the error message. I have tried uninstalling and reinsatlling APE 12, but that did not get rid of the error. Any suggestions?
Gene
When you did the uninstall reinstall, did you go the route
If possible, in opened project, Help Menu/Sign Out. (That is 12's Deactivation step.)
Then uninstall the usual Control Panel route.
Run through of ccleaner (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts)
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
That should get rid of any leftovers from incomplete uninstall or reinstalls
Then reinstall with antivirus and firewall turned Off.
You are more likely to succeed if you use the above than just delete the settings file. But, if you want to try deleting the settings file first, then
Local Disc C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements Folder
12.0 Folder
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole Premiere Elements Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path.
In versions earlier than 12, the answer to this type of problem target SmartSounds soundtrack feature. There is no SmartSounds feature in 12 althoug 12 does have its Music Scores and Sound Effects.
More later.
Looking forward to your results.
Thanks.

JFileChooser - No Disk In Drive Error
heres the code I have used for three other applications. For some reason the current project I am working on, no matter what button I attach the below to, seems to display a "No disk in Drive. Please insert a disk into drive A" error. The fact that this code seems to work in 3 other apps on the same win2000 box, and a test program I wrote that just made a JFrame and put a button on it with the below code worked, has me boggled.
someButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
int val = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
if(val == javax.swing.JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
java.io.File fileChoosen = fc.getSelectedFile();
System.out.println(fileChoosen.getAbsolutePath());
and yes, I have tried JFileChooser("SomeDirectory"). I have tried all other workarounds posted about this known issue and none of them work. WHY would this code decide not to work in my new project but works on three other and a test app. heres the test app the above code worked in:
public class Main
File fileChoosen;
public static void main(String[] args)
new Main();
public Main()
JFrame f = new JFrame();
JButton getFile = new JButton("get file");
getFile.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
int val = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
if(val == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
fileChoosen = fc.getSelectedFile();
System.out.println(fileChoosen.getAbsolutePath());
f.getContentPane().add(getFile);
f.setSize(100,100);
f.show();
i have tried this code in about 5 different places in the new application and it always pops this drive not ready error box. can't seem to break it in any other apps i have written or the above Main.java.
Does Anyone know what would cause this. The App it does not work in uses alot of polymorphism, rmi, and interfaces. could something weird be happening? the other apps are more straight foward one JFrame apps with FileMenu's, and tabs. mostly config windows. this one is much larger with many JFrames and is completly dependent on a server. so a client networked app.Linda Radecke posted a workaround in the comp.lang.java.gui newsgroup recently. Here's the relevant part of her post:
...this is known bug in JFileChooser on some JDK/machine-combis. (Do you have a CD-ROM-drive?). I myself don't have this problem, but I have read about it, there is a workaround I have copied to my website once, maybe this can help you, I haven't tried that out myself, since everything works well for me with respect to JFileChooser:
http://www.jalice.net/windowsAltFileSystemView.java.html
I have included the code from the above link here, in case it ever disappears. Note that I haven't tried this myself, but I've been so frustrated at the lack of a workaround, I thought it was a good idea to post it for future reference:

Acrobat XI with 11.0.01 patch applied
Windows 7 x64
Deployed to about 1100 machines via MS SCCM.
When opening PDFs a lot of users are receiving error messages about not having a disk in drives A:\ and D:\ even though they opened the PDF from their C:\ drive. After clicking OK the PDF does eventually open.
We noticed that if we turn off Protected Mode these errors go away but for a number of reasons we will not be turning off protected mode.
Please advise.
Thanks.This ended up being a device control policy in Symantec Endpoint Protection 12. My guess is if we were up to date with the latest relesse of SEP server this wouldn't have been an issue but thankfully we no longer needed the device policy. Thought I would follow up.

Windows Vista "Disk is locked" Error
ITunes reports "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk" or "You do not have write permissions for this folder" in Windows Vista.
I know that there is a suggested fix for XP using TweakUI, but I can't find anything to help in Vista.
I've tried removing and reinstalling, but that didn't help.
I'm using a clean install of Windows Vista Ultimate.
My iTunes music files and library were previously working in Vista before the computer was reformatted (Adobe CS3 upgraders will know why I had to that).
Any assistance will be appreciated.Which error are you getting? Are you getting the "locked disk" or the "cannot be found or created"?

Fresh Windows XP Install SATA Driver Error
I'm trying to install WinXP on a new SATA Maxtor 120GB drive, and get the following error after pressing F6 and specifying the additional device:
"File TXTSETUP.OEM caused an unexpected error (1024) in line 1742 in d:\xpclient\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c."
The drive is on the ICH5 SATA controller in the first position. It is recognized by the BIOS correctly, along with the combo drive on the P-ATA controller.
Any suggestions???I really don't know the ICH5 well enough to determine if there is an optimal reason why you select the PATA only or the SATA only to match the primary boot device. In the boot sequence you can boot in whatever order you want, and with the F11 key you can boot off whatever device you want. Whatever works is usually OK, but when things don't work, try the right way at least once

Window - No Disk error message after update to iTunes 7.1
I updated to iTunes 7.1. After turning on iTunes for the first time after the download, I get a box that says "Updating iTunes Library". During this process, I get the dreaded error message: "Windows - No Disk" I clicked on it a few times and it went away. Then it came back and no amount of clicking would make it go away. At this point, iTunes no longer responds. I have gone thru this process now about 5 times.
What is the fix?
Does Apple answer this issue anywhere or is it left to its customers to speculate about this stuff?
Thank you fellow consumers.

I have an ipod shuffle and when I connect it to the USB port, it loads up fine on itunes. Then as the music is synching, I get an error message that comes up reading "Windows-No Disk Exception Processing Message (then a whole bunch of numbers and letters). There are three options to cancel, try again or continue. Clicking any of the options does not help and only causes the error message to return.
I have tried the r's, and tried restoring the shuffle twice now. While the restore did allow for the music to start synching (whereas at first it wouldn't even let that happen), it eventually resulted in the same error message.
This is driving me crazy and making me so frustrated. When I first used it probably a month ago, it uploaded music fine. I don't understand where this sudden problem has come from. I read somewhere there could be software on my computer scanning the device which might be causing a problem, but I pulled up my running programs and there's nothing open other than a few programs, none of which are virus scanning software.
Help would be greatly appreciated since right now this product is pretty much useless. So much for apple products being so "trouble free."I've been getting the same error on my 4G nano for the past week. I've had my nano for about a month and the first few weeks were fine. Tried it on 2 different computers (Vista and XP) and same problem. Tried it on a 3rd (XP) and it started ok. Problem started coming back after a day.
I was able to find a quick fix though. I noticed that sometimes the message says something like "iexplore.exe... no disk..." even if I don't even use IE. What I do is end iexplore.exe on task manager before running iTunes and syncing my nano. I don't get the error whenever I do this, but one drawback is that the contents of my nano suddenly pops up in a window - even when disk use is not enabled.
I've reset/restored my nano dozens and dozens of times to make sure it's clean. Leads me to believe it's a driver issue. Either that or I have a friggin malware problem I can't seem to find.
I'll be posting updates every now and then. I'm no expert so I'm hoping an Apple expert also steps in to give some input. -
"Windows - No Disk" error during sync
About 1/2 the time when I go to sync my 80gig iPod Classic, I get this error. "Windows - No Disk There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive I:. [Cancel] [Try Again] [Continue]"
I: is the letter assigned to the ipod. It seems to happen just as the sync process is completing. It looks as though the ipod is disconnecting itself just before itunes wants it to.
I've been having this problem ever since I got the ipod in March or April. I've reinstalled Windows a couple times since then and it still persists. I've even done a factory reset on the ipod. I'm stumped. Any suggestions?The only other 2 things I can think of are
1) Deleting your itunes preferences files from these 2 folders after closing itunes
(they'll get rebuilt)
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Applications Data\Apple Computers\iTunes
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Applications Data\Apple Computers\iTunes.
2) Plugging something into every USB/drive letter port you've got. -
Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!
Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!
Hi,
I have the following set up:
* Lenovo T-61p
* Windows XP Pro, SP 3
* HP Photosmart 8250 printer (with nothing plugged into the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer)
I am getting the following error:
Windows - No Disk
Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x75CE023C
0x84C40C84 0x75CE023C
I have done a lof experimenting and thru process of elimination, and believe I have determined that this only happens when the HP Photosmart 8250 printer is plugged in to the USB slot of the computer.
I can stop it from happening by safely removing hardware, and removing the drive that the 8250 creates on your computer when you plug it in. In my case, this is drive E. I'm guessing if there was something in the the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer, that's what those would be, but I don't those use those functions of the printer.
I understand there is more at work than simply the printer, because I did not used to get this error, so some software changed as well, that is scanning all ports, and finding a drive that has no disk, and producing the error.
A simple google search finds a lot people all over the world having this problem, and are solving it in different ways, because the suspected source is different: Norton, HP, etc.
I have tried everything I have read, and the only thing that works was my own idea, of manually safely removing the drive the printer creates each time I plug in the printer.
Anyone every any better, more permanent solutions? Or know what the real root of the problem is? What is scanning all the drives and being showing an error message because it found an empty drive?
Thanks and Happy Holidays/New Year!I've been getting the same error on my 4G nano for the past week. I've had my nano for about a month and the first few weeks were fine.

Error Msg - There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive
Okay, I have been using itunes w/the same ipod for quite a while. Recently my computer died so I just bought a new one. Before getting rid of the old one I logged onto windows and moved all my files to an external drive. I am now using this external drive for all my docs, music, etc. on the new computer and did a "move" of "my documents" (including "my music" contained therein). I installed itunes and my ipod using the software disks that came with my ipod. I inserted the ipod and it worked fine but it did make me associate the ipod with this new computer and had to reinstall all my music on my ipod. So far so good. Then when I went to play a purchased song itunes informed me that I had to upgrade to the most recent version of itunes to play the song. I then dowloaded the update and installed it. After installing the updated itunes, itunes then basically re-associated itself with my ORIGINAL profile (I'm not sure if profile is the correct word to use here) and once again deleted everything on my ipod and reinstalled all my songs. Now this is where I began having this problem. Now, everytime I run itunes (with or without my ipod connected) I get 12 of the above-mentioned error messages. The top of the box says "Windows - No Disk" and the main part of the box says "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive." I am given the choice of "Cancel" "Try Again" and "Continue." I hit cancel for a total of 12 times. I've tried with disks in both of my cd/dvd drives and get the same message. The funny thing is that I have about 12 or so card readers (scene by the computer as drives) and I'm thinking that maybe itunes is trying to access those drives or something, but I'm not sure. So, that's it in a nutshell. Any help by someone w/knowledge of this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
This can also be caused in iTunes 7 by "dead tracks": songs that iTunes is expecting to find in a certain place but the song file isn't there.
I recently upgraded to version 7 and got this message every time I started iTunes. I used the iTunes COM SDK for Windows with JScript to find all the dead tracks in my library. Then I fixed them by either deleting them from the library or else correcting the library's idea of where the song file was. Once I did this the message went away.
Another way to look for dead tracks is to parse the iTunes library XML file and look for invalid file paths. I did this in Perl without too much trouble.
(I'm cross-posting this to several threads about the same problem.) -
ITunes won't start: Error is "Windows - No Disk"
Hi all,
So whenever I try to open iTunes, the following happens:
-About 1-2 minutes of the computer "grinding" or "thinking". Lights flashing, etc.
-Error message then pops up. It says "Windows - No Disk" and below that, it says "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into the drive." Below that are buttons for Retry, Cancel, and Continue.
I have Windows XP Pro. Any ideas? Thanks!I am also getting the No Disk error, but only when I plug in my girl's iPod (shuffle). I can click continue or cancel a couple of times and it seems to work fine, but it is still very annoying. We have been using the shuffle without any problems for a few days. When we first got it, we had other problems. We spent about 12 hours between us trying to get iTunes to see the Shuffle. I followed all of the instructions in the KB articles to the letter. I combed the forums and finally found a solution, right before I was about to give up and declare the thing defective. The solution was to give the iPod a different drive letter (P:) than the one automatically given by XP, using Disk Management. This is essentialy the fix suggested by the MS KB article to which you refer.
At any rate, I've got to fix this No Disk issue before she updates her iPod next, or she will freak. I noticed once that after I clicked 'continue' a message box with a rapidly moving green progress bar appeared for a second or two. It looked like the same box that comes up when you attach a storage device like an external hard drive and Windows searches it for pictures, audio, etc. before it displays a list of appropriate actions to take based on the types it finds. No such list appeared, however. I think it is relevant at this point to mention that disk use is not enabled on this iPod.
It looks to me that the Apple software and the OS are fighting for control of the device. Based on what I have read on the forums today, I suspect that my anti-virus might have something to do with it. I am using AVG Free Edition. I can't troubleshoot it right now, because the girl has the iPod.
Any further help that the experts out there can give would be greatly appreciated. Apparently, Shuffle customers are not entitled to free phone or on-line chat support for any period of time. I have read quite a few posts on this type of problem, both in the iTunes and the iPod forums, and I think this is the only one with any attempt at a resolution. Well, except for the guy who said he fixed it by changing a setting in McAffe (sp?). I will also post whatever I find out. -

I get this message everytime i click on itunes icon or when i click on a music file to play. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes multiple times.

ITunes gives "Windows - No Disk error" ***?

of the time (that i'm aware of).
so if you don't mind, let's try doing some basic research.
(1) head into your "My Computer" while you've got the ipod plugged in. what drives are being assigned to what drive letters? for reference purposes, here's a screenshot of my "My Computer" window:

do you get the message when you're in this configuration?
(2) could you head into your itunes "Advanced-General" subtab and take a screenshot of that for us? there's instructions on how to do that given here:

Getting "Windows-No Disk" error when try to open itunes
itunes will no longer open. Every time I open it I get a Windows-No Disk error that says "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive." itunes just totally freezes up and I can't access anything. This error makes no sense to me. (BTW, I tried putting in and taking out disks in drives, but no change.)
I think this problem started after I upgrade but can't remember now.
I haven't seen anyone else mention this error so I'm stumped... and very frustrated. Appreciate any help.I have the same probelm and I think it's also from upgrading to the free 7.1 version of iTunes.

Problem in using JDeveloper 10g with JHeadstart
I am using JDeveloper 9.0.3 and jheadstart 9.0.4.5 and I would like to test jdeveloper 10g preview with JHeadstart. So, I have downloaded the JDeveloper 10g to test it with my old application. Having run the Jdeveloper for the first time, I realized
