When running Spybot S&D 1.4, I keep getting the error message "Windows No Disk" in the error box is the message "There is no disk in the Drive, Please insert a disk into the drive" No drive letter is specified. I've tried putting disks in every drive, & still get the message. I have to hit the "cancel" or "continue" key several hundred times to get the scan to complete. I do not have this problem on my laptop or computers at work. I've even tried uninstalling and re-installing Spybot. Nothing seems to help. How can I fix this problem??
 
No Disc in Drive:D - Please insert Disc!

I also have a similar problem when scanning :mad:
Please , someone , help with this removal...bcoz it re-appears when u rescan with Spybot.
 
Thank you for your reply.
Please correct me if I am wrong...but doesn't that article refer to the message obtained when you start your pc.

I am getting the message of " no disk in drive" when I am half way into spybot scan....especially when Spybot programs is running .

I have noticed that the message pops up when the scan is searching for Ist.Bar or something similar.

Please advise. Thank you for your time.
 
An addition to my previous post : the specific name is ISearchTech.ISTBar and the Drive mentioned is "D".

If this info is of any help , please advise.
 
Hello.
Do you have Spybot installed in it's default location?

C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
 
Thank you all for taking time to at least reply.

If it is of any help, I have managed to resolve the problem by running Spybot in safe mode and this has somehow fixed the issue at hand.

Hope others can benefit by this info.:)
 
I suspect your problem may be related to some of the recent security fixes for XP rather than Spybot. A friend of mine who runs XP (I have Windows 2000) has the same problem after he logs on, but without running Spybot.

I suggest you leave the message on the screen and start Task Manager. Pick the "APPLICATIONS" tab in task manager. Highlight the "Windows - No Disk" application in the Task Manager. Then RIGHT click on it and select "Go To Process" That will move you to the processes tab and highlight the process issuing the message. On my friend's machine, that is CSRSS.EXE. What is it on your machine? Do NOT try to terminate the process; it is part of the operating system.

I suspect patch KB902400 had something to do with this problem; it was the last patch I installed on his machine before the problem manifest itself. However, I do not think it is the patch by itself. If you have KB902400 on your system, you might try removing it and see if the problem persists. Make sure you reinstall the patch; it is a critical security patch.
 
I had the same problem as described here, on startup the computer would display "Windows error no disc", and when i tried running antispyware programs, the same error would appear.
I found the microsoft solution was the begining to the answer (ironically it was really a microsoft patch causing the trouble, not spyware as i had suspected, however the patch for SP2 was very important so was not to be removed)
I had an Iomega Zip drive as C: , which for some reason upset the spyware removal programs (adaware and s&d).
Once i changed the removable drive to another drive letter, the antispyware programs could run and remove the adware.
For those still having troubles, i strongly suggest exploring the posibility that you have a removable media drive as C: . If this is so, follow the instructions on the link given above, and change its drive letter to anything else.

Thanks to the guy that suggested the microsoft site

Good luck to all those who want this problem solved
 
No Disk Error

I received a new computer for Christmas.:p After loading everything I kept receiving an error message when the media player was opened. It was,"There is no disc in the drive. Please insert a disk in the drive." This message was due to the fact that while downloading my McAfee virus scan, it was recommended that I uninstall Norton Internet Security, which was bundled with the computer. This removal caused the error message. When I left the Norton on the computer and disabled the McAfee everything was alright. In a nutshell, deleting the Norton program caused the problem.:D
 
CSRSS.EXE causes "No Disc" error when SpyBot Runs

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows\

Change the value of the ErrorMode key to 2.

CSRSS.EXE (Microsoft Client Server Subsystem) may attempt to locate media which simply didn’t exist. The above workaround helped me in this situation.

Hope it helps you.
 
Though this will undoubtedly stop the messages, I'm a bit concerned since it's really just supressing the message itself, not finding or solving the real issue, whatever that may be.

The error messages do continue to get logged into the Event Logs, but aren't displayed at all. This is great for an embedded system like the article below mentions, where no one may be around to monitor the screen, if there even is one. However, this also means that other critical messages unrelated to the disk drive problem will be supressed, such as impending hard drive failure for example.

So I wouldn't recommend this method to solve what is generally a system configuration or interaction issue. On rare occassion Spybot itself has caused similar issues when an errant entry for "D:\something..." got into the detections by mistake.

How to Get Rid of System and Application Popup Messages
Submitted by: Slobodan Brcin of Belgrade, Serbia, and Montenegro

This article illustrates how the user can suppress system and application error messages from occurring on an embedded system. This is particularly useful when the embedded device is headless and there is no user interface with which to interact to dismiss the error or in cases where the embedded system is meant to be unattended and the system designer does not want users seeing or interacting with such error dialog boxes.

  • For low-level filtering out visible notification of various errors use registry entry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Windows\ErrorMode.
ErrorMode value descriptions:

0 - All messages are visible (default value).
1 - Only system messages are invisible. An example of this type of message is: "Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low."
2 - All messages are invisible. An example of this type of message is: "Unable to Locate Component" shown when application can't load DLL statically linked to it.

thanks to Buster and nblue_elf,

the methods both outlined helped me resolve the problem with my C drive name.

thanks for the help.
 
windows no disc

I had this problem for weeks, done everything suggested. uddenly noticed that one of my card drives had been changed to being called C: ( my normal working drive is I:) so changed C: to R: and bingo, error gone !!!
 
alright, I understand how to fix the problem. but i still have some dilemas. right now the drives on my computer follow as:

H: Harddrive
A: Floppy
C: Compact Flash Reader
D: SD Card Reader
E: SM Card Reader
F: Memory Stick Reader
G: DVD-RW Drive

The thing is, I don't have a compact flash card anymore to solve the No Disk error. Is there an alternate way to solve the problem?

and two, If I am able to get a CF card some how to change the letter of the drives, will the programs already installed not work properly since it will refer to the H drive instead of the C?
 
Just to be absolutely clear for you good folks

This issue occurs when all the following conditions are all true:
• You have a removable drive, such as an Iomega Zip drive, configured as drive letter C.
• You do not have a removable disk in the removable disk drive.
Back to the top Back to the top
RESOLUTION
To resolve the issue, use one of the following methods:
• Insert a removable disk in the removable drive before you start the computer.
• Change the drive letter assignment for the removable drive to a letter other than C.

To change the drive letter assignments in Windows XP, follow these steps:
1. Log on to the computer as Administrator.
2. Insert a disk in the removable drive.
3. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
4. Click Disk Management.
5. Right-click the partition, logical drive, or volume that you want to change, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
6. Click the removable drive, click it, click Change, click the drive letter that you want to use, and then click OK.

Dont ya just love me :)

No need to worry about this message...just safely remove your internal or external card reader:bigthumb:
 
Possible solution

I have had this same annoyance for a long time, and it got worse over time. At first it was only 1 error message after booting and logging in, the last time was 12 error messages following up on eachother!
I tried several solutions, including Spybot and Lavasoft AdAware (they both find different entries in your system, so I always use them together).

What (finally) worked for me is deleting dit.exe from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Tip: If you don't want to delete an entry during testing, you can "REM" it out by adding ";" in front of the Value Data making it look like this (without the quotes) => "; Dit.exe"

It appears that this little tool arranges for the fancy icons of your built in multicard reader. It also gives the 'friendly names' to them in Windows Explorer. Furthermore, it does nothing.

I've tested it and it works like a charm! The icons of my memory cards have not disappeared nor did they change back to a normal folder icon. So nothing lost, except for this nuisance!
Hope it helps someone else.
