I keep getting this error, "the drive is not ready for use; its door
may be open. Please check drive A: and make sure that a disk is
inserted and that the drive door is closed".

I have no drive A. I even uninstalled it in the device manager. Last
time it seemed to happen when Microsoft office was trying to get to
the installation disk. I did change the DVD drive to Z:, not sure if
that's the cause of the error but it seems the likely culprit. How do
I get this to stop?

Just for the sake of argument, I wonder if it happened even before I
changed the drive letter, what would be the likely cause then?

Thanks,

Joel
