Error message after external drive installation

The antispyware program seems to be working well.

Yesterday I installed an external Iomega USB drive and
Iomega's back-up software. Now, whenever I exit Internet
Explorer I get an error box entitled:

gcasDtServ.exe - No Disk

There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into
drive \device\Harddisk5\Dr6


The file named gcasDtServ.exe comes up in the spyware
folder whenn I search it.

Everything looks like it's running OK. Can I get rid of
the error message?

I have removed and reinstalled the spyware program Have
not done that with the Iomega Back-up program.

Thanks.
 
I've seen this issue posted before in relation to other removable drives.
If you have the USB key plugged in do you still get the error?

When you disconnect the USB drive from the system, do you go through the
system tray icon to properly shut down the device, before you unplug it?
 
Bill, thank you for replying.
It's interesting that when I removed the drive, after
using the icon tray shutdown, the problem was still
there. But, I did the same with the USB card reader I
have (SanDisk ImageMate 6 in 1) and the error did not pop
up even after I reconnected the USB hard drive. When I
reconnected the card reader, the error was back.

The only thing that I can think of is that the card
reader drive letters used to be named f,g,h,i (has 4
slots). F is now the new hard drive and the card reader
has been pushed to g,h,i, j.

Don't know if this is the cause or if I can correct it.
All I know is that you led me in anew direction.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
I think your own trial and error is about all I can recommend. I don't have
a sure fix, nor the equipment to mess with it much--I've got a machine with
a like arrangement (card reader, etc) at a work site, but I commonly work
with those machines at night, via Remote Desktop, and that just doesn't work
when you need to physically plug and unplug!)

Lets hope this post will help the folks at Microsoft who I imagine have this
replicated in house by now--doesn't seem too hard to demonstrate.
 
Thank you.
