"There's no disk in the drive" error

[John Dalberg]

Whenever my computer boots up, I always get this error:
"There's no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk in drive ."

The problem is I don't know what it needs. The error message the drive
letter.

Is that from within the OS or a BIOS message?

Get the ProcessExplorer:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/ProcessExplorer.html

Start it, drag the bulls eye over the error message and release
the mouse button. The ProcessExplorer now has the selected the
owner process of the message in it's process list.
Now you at least know which application it is. Maybe it can
be configured to not touch drives like CDROMs or cardreaders
which may have no media inserted.
