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. 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.

  • Mac Mini stuck looking for Windows Boot Disk! Please help

    Hi all, I've been running Leopard on my Mac Mini off a FireWire hard drive enclosure. The 750gb hard drive in the enclosure is a drive I used to have in my old iMac.
    When I had my iMac I'd installed Windows via Bootcamp. So when running, the Mac Mini would show a Windows partition on the Leopard desktop. Today I needed to do something in Windows. so I went to Sys Prefs > Startup Disk and chose to reboot into that Windows partition. BIG MISTAKE
    Now whenever I turn the Mini on it looks for a Windows partition and tells me it can't find one. I've tried resetting the PMU, booting from Leopard DVD, holding Option, nothing works. The only thing that will work is if I put a Windows XP disk in and it will try and take me through the install process.
    How on earth do I get my Mac back booting into Leopard!?
    Message was edited by: Thomas Robinson

    I can't believe it was just the new Apple thin Alu Keyboard causing it! Plugged in an old Apple USB one and I got the Option startup menu straight away, totally bizarre!

  • I can't install Itunes because of Windows installer package error, please help!

    I tried installing Itunes for a long time on my desktop, I'm running Vista. Everytime I try to install Itunes it runs for a bit, then gives me this message
    " There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    I went through many posts on how to solve this problem, I uninstalled and deleted all the files from this thread : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    and tried to reinstall Itunes, didn't work, same error message.
    After i tried to install Itunes in Clean boot still didn't work.
    I also downloaded MicrosoftFixit.Program which apperantly fixed this problem for some people, not for me.
    Then I extracted Itunes and tried to install all the components seperately, everything installed correctly, however when I tried to install Apple Software update
    I got the same error message, i think it is the Apple software update that is causing this problem but I have no idea how to solve this problem.
    How do I solve this, any thoughts or suggestions???

    Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    Now, uninstall Bonjour from Control Panel.

  • Cant Install Itunes to Windows 7 (Multiple Errors) Please help

    so i keep trying to install itunes and i get these errors:

    Even though the micorsoft website does not list hte SUBINACL tool as being a valid tool for WIndows 7, here is a thread where a microsoft support person recommends it.
    http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7programs/thread/324918a2-fb68 -49ba-833f-ecfb15a7ef10
    I would definitely follow the advice of backing up the registry and creating a restore point before proceeding with subinacl.
    After you have downloaded subinacl and installed using admin rights, do these steps to reset the registy permissions:
    ~Start Notepad.
    ~Copy and then paste the following text into Notepad.
    cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEYLOCALMACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEYCURRENTUSER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEYCLASSESROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
    subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
    subinacl /subdirectories %windir%\. /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
    secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose
    ~Save this Notepad file as Reset.cmd.

  • HELP! iTunes won't load, gives Windows - No Disk error

    This is so aggravating!
    Last week I purchased $100 worth of audio books to put on my iPod for a vacation. Immediately iTunes wanted me to upgrade to 5.0, so I did. That's where the nightmare began.
    With both versions, when I click on the iTunes icon (or the menu item), I get the license agreement, click "agree", then wait a moment before getting the Windows - No Disk error telling me to put a disk in "the drive" (it doesn't specify which drive). The message doesn't go away no matter how many times I click, or how fast, (I've gone into the hundreds). The only way I can get rid of it is to go into control/alt/delete and cancel the iTunes.exe process.
    I have now spent about 20 hours trying everything I've seen on all the boards. I have uninstalled using Windows uninstaller; I've reinstalled standalone quicktime; I've installed with the ethernet cord disconnected and the USB's disconnected (including external hard drive); I've made sure all firewalls, etc. were off (McAfee, not Norton). I've done everything but voodoo.
    I can roll back to iTunes 4.9 but it won't let me access my very expensive iTunes music and books - it just tries to take me to the music store and tells me to upgrade to 6.0!!!!!
    Can someone please help?!

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

    Back with version 6, my iTunes decided to unlocate all my songs. It wants me to manually tell it where each one is again. Pain in the *. That aside, since the last two updates, Whenever iTunes launches, it starts to update, but then a "Windows - No Disk" error pops up and I have to end task it to get it and iTunes to close.

  • 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.

    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers

    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Windows-No Disk Error Mess

    I get the following error message upon start-up or reboot for Audigy SE:?Windows-No Disk?c0000003 Parameters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c.... I have the option to Continue-Cancel-Retry??The sound card seems to work otherwise, but this error is annoying and I would like to resolve it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the install CD as this is a new install, but the error persists. Can someone suggest a Fix-It?Thanx!?Lawrence

    I have found the Windows No Disk error message to be caused by having a card reader installed in your system in some cases. If you change the dri've letters of the readers from i.e. F: and G: to for example O: and P: (as I did on my machine) the error message will stop. Worth a try.......worked for me. Hope you find this reply useful, unlike the previous wise a$$ replies.

    Hey erinoneill24,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
    iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1441?viewlocale=it_it
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario
