"No disk in drive... \device\Harddisk2\DR2

Like a lot of people, I upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (or .1 for somepeople) and had my Windows 7 Boot-camp-made partition corrupted, scrambled, messed up... i don't know the technical term. I read somewhere that after upgrading, if you looked in Disk Utility at your Windows partition, that if it was unmounted, mounting it would fix it. I didn't know this then so I re-installed Windows 7.
After about 5-6 re-installs, using a handful of different guides ranging from the official to the Apple Employee recommendations on these forums, I would get an error message after finalizing the installation.
This happened every install.  I tried googling it and could not find much information about it. Regardless if I click 'Try Again' or 'Continue', it continues on with the installation (briefly). 'Cancel' will cancel the installation, obviously. Once I click either one of the above mentioned, the installation window goes away and a "Starting..." message comes up. Followed up a "Windows is updating system files" message or something to that effect. Very, very, very, very quickly and error message pops up and goes away as quick as it came up. "Shutting Down..." shows up and the computer reboots.
More research on this message has turned up nothing.
If I attempt to boot from the Windows partition, it will instead want to boot from the DVD, "Press any key to blah blah..." If I don't hit a key, it freezes after 5 periods. No HD spinning, no optical drive, it freezes. If I remove the DVD, and boot from the Windows partition, I get a blinking _ in the top left corner.
Any suggestions? Anyone else having this issue?

Co-worker helped me out with this. This is his message, copied and pasted.
Fixed! Think the problem was that it was an OEM version of Win 7, which Bootcamp advise against using... they advise to use retail only. Fixed like this:
1. Put the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start your computer.
2. Hold down Option key till all available disks are displayed and select DVD. Press a key when you are prompted.
3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then 4. click Next.
5. Click Repair your computer.
6. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
7.In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
Type (these commands are safe)
Code: Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
Code: Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
Code: Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd
*Press ENTER after each command.*
*Restart your computer.*
Done. Rockin'
If Command Prompt doesn't work, instead try SHIFT-F10 to get to a command prompt

  • Fix needed? Bad tif froze cs5 ps: "No disk in drive. Insert disk into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR2"

    Request response from Adobe moderator.  Work stoppage.
    12-23-2010.    Windows 7 Home Premium.  64-bit.  All updates are done promptly.  Using NOD32 antivirus.
    Apparently I can't insert a Snagit 9 screen grab into this message.    Adobe's message said the content type wasn't allowed.  It was a Snagit 9 window grab saved into a Word document.  ??
    ========================================================================================== =======================
    A lawyer sent me a tif of a contract, titled "Photoshop.exe".  I couldn't open it in PS, and finally had to have another person scan the contract and send it as a pdf.
    The error message dialog box says "Photoshop.exe - No Disk" at the top.
    After the red circle with the white "X", "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR2".
    "Cancel"    "Try Again"   "Continue"
    None of the 3 options has any effect.
    Only the splash screen of ps appeared before the error message appeared.  PS is frozen at this point.
    Task Manager showed "Photoshop.exe - No Disk" was running, but "End Task" had NO effect.
    Task Manager said PS was "not responding".  The attempt to close  ps resulted in the "not responding" becoming translucent, but ps wouldn't close.  Since the error message was still open, I clicked on the x in the upper corner.  The message either blinked and reappeared, or had no response at all.
    I was fortunate enough to actually close the message once, only to have it reappear before I could complete clicking on the "Close" button in Task Manager.  Several clickings later, I was successful in closing the error message and utilizing task manager to get ps to close, by clicking on the "Lose Data" caution message.  Then I was able to "Quit Task" the "Photoshop.exe" file.  Quite a frustrating situation.
    Now, I can't use PS.  Whenever I open it, it freezes at the spash screen and the same error message appears!
    Last night, another similar message appeared:
    Yesterday evening, this error message appeared.  Note the identical "Photoshop.exe" portion of the message:
    Owl Orphanage: Photoshop.exe – Entry Point Not Found
    X  The procedure entry point  ?GetNumTiles@JP2KImage@@QAEJXZ      (Same white X in a red circle.)
         could not be located in the dynamic link library JP2KLib.dll.
    I can't decide if a virus was embedded in the image file the lawyer sent, or if there is some but in ps which is reacting to this tif file.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks, Bob.
    I considered that possibility initially, but the file was expected, as it was from my family's lawyer, and was being sent per a conversation with other family members.

  • Getting error no disk on dell pre installed premiere elements 13:  there is no disk in drive. please insert a disk into drive\Device\Harddisk2\DR2  : can i fix this^

    like the title says...
    cannot get service or support on phone...  I paid for this software... i though adobe was a good company....  darn
    Can anyone help me...
    Need this to work now  not in a week...

    Sorry you think Adobe is a bad company.  Phone service for most common consumer software disappeared shortly after they invented the internet.  This is a user forum where there are people that like Adobe products well enough that they freely share their experiences.
    If you type "insert disk" in the "Ask it" box you will get answers that suggest there is an anomaly on some computers where you need to remove a file.  Below is a cut and paste from one of those threads that was offered by Adobe Staff.
    ".... try removing the Old Film effect from the installed location of Premiere Elements 13 and then try to launch the app? The exact file to be removed is (assuming you have installed it in the default location)
    Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 13\Plug-Ins\Common\NewBlue\OldFilm.AEX"
    The other solution might be to get the update that was released only yesterday via download from Adobe.   Premier Elements 13 is now 13.1.
    Good luck!

  • 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.

  • Javaw.exe missing \Device\Harddisk2\DR4 error message

    Was wondering if anyone had encountered and solved an error when using applications calling javaw under Windows 2000 Professional SP4 - when running a program, a pop-up window declares:
    ��"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR4"
    I encountered this running Java 2 runtime environment SE v1.4.2_06, and I upgraded to v1.4.2_12 and got the same result. An example application is the Zend Studio developer environment - they of course say their app is fine and I suspect they are correct.
    Is there a configuration file somewhere within the Java 2 runtime environment that refers to "\Device\Harddisk2\DR4" I could check or edit to make this go away?
    Many thanks in advance for assistance.

    When I run Itunes I get the message "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \device\Harddisk\DR5" .
    It appears over the itunes screen but it won't let me do anything and I have to exit through Task Manager..  Any Advice how to solve problem.  I have all the current versions of Windows 7, itunes etc.  I had a similar problem a while ago and had to uninstall Itunes and reinstall. This just started about two days ago.  Thanks

    I tried fixing the same problem today and could not seem to find the correct file to delete. I reinstalled several times, trashed the pref files, trashed the temp folder items, even used the Windows Clean Uninstall Utility and no dice.

  • EventId: 32, disk - The driver detected that the device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 has its write cache enabled

    Virtualized 2012 R2 Domain Controller running on hyper-V.  Every boot lists the following error three times:
    EventId: 32, disk - The driver detected that the device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 has its write cache enabled. 
    Data corruption may occur.
    Having checked the virtual SCSI disks all have their write cache enabled, is this correct or do I need to take some action to prevent these events?

    Hi,
    This is normal and you can't change it. This tells AD that write caching is enabled so it uses a different method to store information.

    dv2915nr cd/dvd drive doesn't recognize when disk in. drive doesnt show up in device manager.

    Hi,
    Here's one option you could try as it will give a good indication whether the problem is with Windows or a Hardware issue with the optical drive itself. 
    Create a bootable Ubuntu CD
    The Ubuntu CD you create should run as you boot the notebook ( ie outside of Windows operating system ), so if this will not run, the problem is almost certainly a Hardware issue with the DVD drive
    On another PC, follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if this OS will run from the CD.  The 'try it' option does not need to install on the Hard Drive, it just runs from the CD.

    Let me know if this will run.

  • Firewire external mobil disk hard drive is no longer recognized

    After last system update, my firewire external mobil disk hard drive is no longer recognized. Any solutions?
    Why does MacOS go backwards... gets worse over time?

    Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work! I have had no trouble with any update Apple puts out (the Combo update is what I normally choose). Are you running 9.2 like your specs. say? You are in the Tiger forum, so I'll assume you haven't updated your Macs specs.
    First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
    Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
    If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours may be the 10.4.5 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
    If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
    For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good!
    Good Luck!
    Cheers!

  • Error Messages: "There is no disk in drive..." and "Cannot Sync (-124)

    Hello everybody,
    Kind of a unique case, but problems started for me when I upgraded to Itunes 8 on my new Toshiba Netbook which runs Windows XP. Seems like everytime I open Itunes and insert my ipod nano (4th gen), I get a Windows error message that reads "There is no disk in drive. Please insert disk in drive." After clearing from this message (it doesn't matter whether you press Cancel, Continue, or Try Again), I try to sync my music. No go. I receive an error from itunes that reads "Cannot sync music due to unknown error (-124).
    Right now, this case has been kicked around Apple and Toshiba for two weeks. I'm getting frustrated becuase Apple is telling me that it's a fault with the operating system since Windows is assigning the wrong path to ipod. Toshiba is saying its a software problem with Itunes. As I wait for a solution, I have no functioning Ipod since it can't load up any new playlists.
    I've tried the 5 R's, created a new user profile on my computer, and even changed the location of my usb drive for my inano. None of it has worked so far. One suggestion did work in getting rid of the error messages but didn't do anything to unlock my inano. It was the suggestion to go into "my computer" and checking the properties of my inano, then checking the boxes to scan and repair any errors windows finds in the inano. After this attempt, I'm starting to believe that it's a software issue with itunes 8. Something I want to believe since it saves me the trouble of sending my new netbook to Toshiba for work.
    Any ideas here? Thanks for the help
