Running windows 7 I get an error message "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk3\DR3." its doing this over and over again after trying to do a cleaning. Win7 is asking for permission to change the HD and I say yes.

THis is so bad that I basically can not use my computer until I use task master to kill Spybot.

Any ideas?

Hello,

This is a known problem which can occur in Windows.
The problem is usually caused by having Drive C assigned to a device with removable media. If you have that situation then either put media in Drive C or reassign the device to another letter.

There are instructions for reassigning the device to another letter here:
"There Is No Disk in the Drive. Please Insert a Disk into Drive \Device\harddisk\Dr1" Error Message When You Start Your Computer (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;330137)
