No Disk in Drive Error
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 "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:

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.

Internal Hard Drive Died - Now replaced - Disk Utility Internal Error
When using the original system disk to install OSX the new hard drive isn't recognised even though I have formatted it for an intel based mac (GUID Partition, Extended Journaled etc) using my imac . When launching Disk Utility from the system disk and trying to erase/partion the drive, I get the following error message "Disk Utility Internal Error - Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool...". When connected to my imac using a converter it appears on my desktop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The macbook in question is a 2006 (white). PLEASE HELP.....
Hi - Thanks for your reply. I have tried that but it still doesn't work. I have had a look around online for the past couple of hours and I found a post that said that newer hard drives can't be recognised by an original 10.4 osx system disk. I would need to find a copy of 10.5 to install OSX on a new hard drive. I dont know if that's true because I dont have a copy of 10.5. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

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 helptry uninstalling the drivers
Plug in your iPod
Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
that will bring you to the Computer Management
On the left hand side click on device manager
on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
right click and select uninstall
Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
Windows should automatically start installing them again
if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
and choose scan for hardware changes
If that does not work, try changing the drive letter
Go back into Computer Management
Click on Disk Management on the right
and on the left it should say your iPod
Right click and go into change drive letter and paths
click on the change button
Change it to something like N or M
Click ok, you will get a message saying "changing the drive letter may cause the program to no longer run are you sure you want to change this drive letter"
click ok
then restart your computer -

I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly. I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired (errors were associated with boot drive) I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with it. Allen's already recommended an Apple repair station visit. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you might be eligible for an onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine (depends on where you're located). BTW, the AppleCare Protection Plan's the best warranty policy available for desktop machines. Get it if you don't have it before contacting Apple.

Help! I keep getting "A Disk Drive Error Occured"
I really hope someone can help me with this, I turned on my laptop today and no matter what I do I keep getting a blank screen saying "A Disk Drive Error Occured please press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart. I tried this numerous times but nothing happend. I took the computer back to where I bought it but they couldn't do anything for it so I tried calling Toshiba but got nowhere. I don't have the money to just replace it and it looks like nobody wants to honor the warrenty.
I have a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5512. I have had it since February this year and it always worked perfectly for me. I have no idea how this happend and I have lost all hope of it getting fixed.
My last resort is restoring it back to factury settings but I tried the one restore that kept all files. It had an error so my last chance is doing a complete factory restore.
If anyone has any useful advice or tips please let me know right away! This is the laptop I use for school work and I need it to work as soon as possible!What do you mean that you got nowhere when eyou contact Toshiba customer support? What did they tell you?

"No disk in drive K" error when I sync.
I've been getting this error on and off when I sync my 80 gig Classic ever since I got it. It seems to be happening all the time lately.
It'll start fine, then give me an error about no disk in drive K. (K is apparently the letter it's assigning the ipod)
Any advice?I've plugged the iPod into the back of the pc. I also moved my Itunes library from my external USB drive to the internal hard drive.
Other than the mouse/keyboard wireless adapter, I have unplugged all other usb devices -- external drive, blackberry, game controller.
I tried setting the iPod as drive X in the disk manager and it worked once or twice without getting the error, but now it's doing it again.
Also I've tried resetting the ipod, removing and reinstalling itunes, and still no luck.
