"Windows Error, Drive not ready" Problem
Hi all,
Whenever I shut down my computer or log off my recently built computer, it shows me a boxed message saying that:
Windows error - Drive not ready
The driver is not ready for use; its door maybe open. Please check drive A: and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed.
<Cancel><Try Again><Continue>
Anyone got any idea what it means?
My computer works ok during windows, I only get this message when i log Off.
My drives are 2x NEC 3550 Dvd Rw
And MB is ASUS P5B Deluxe
Cheers

Do you have an A: drive ? A floppy disk drive I mean . It could be your Anti Virus settings is looking to scan A: before log off . I don't have it anymore but Norton is notorious for that . Or you have a disk stuck in the floppy . Sounds kinky no . ;)
Re: "Windows Error, Drive not ready" Problem
Actually I dont have a floppy drive installed anywhere.
I didn't need one anymore.
Re: "Windows Error, Drive not ready" Problem
Do you have norton or anther antivirus that scans floppys when it shuts down?
Re: "Windows Error, Drive not ready" Problem
If you don't have a floppy but the bios still has one listed it could be the problem. Make sure for removable drives it lists none.
Re: "Windows Error, Drive not ready" Problem
Yep fixed it by disabling it in bios,
Just have another small problem now....
In Device manager there is a yellow icon and its implying that I still have something that isnt intsalled properly, it says Unkown but if I click on it it says on the x1900??
now my graphics card is an x1900gt but i have already installed omega drivers for it and its working great?
Any ideas how to fix it, cos also everytime I log on i get a found new hardware box pop up with no name asking me for drivers?
Re: "Windows Error, Drive not ready" Problem
You could just try to uninstall it and than restart and it would probably be fixed.
