Category: None Group: gtk bug #170948 (no disk error) >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: John Darrow (jcdarrow) Assigned to: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Summary: gaim.exe - no disk in the drive Initial Comment: I have Gaim 1.1.0 for Windows, running on Windows XP, SP2. When I open the program a box pops up saying "gaim.exe - No Disk." It reads: "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk4\DR5." There are three buttons below labeled "Cancel," "Try Again" and "Continue." If I X out or press Cancel or Continue, Gaim opens normally. If I press "Try Again" the box reappears. This pop-up does not prevent me from opening the program, but it happens every time and is extremely irritating. I searched the Bugs list and found a reference to others with this problem, including one tied to version 0.81 marked as a "duplicate of 1001597", but can't find #1001597 to see what the solution is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nick Simicich (brasshopper) Date: 2005-09-24 01:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=320171 It turns out that the gtk bug is well known - for some reason, gtk tries to read your I: disk. If you have one of those memory stick readers, it will be mapped as 4 different drive letters under XP - check to see if this is your problem by going into control panel. Look at the entry for "Portable Media Devices". If you have one of those assigned to I:, that is the problem. It is simple to fix. Open a command window (or bash or ksh). run the diskpart command. At the prompt (diskpart has internal prompts) type list volume Figure out which number is being assigned to i: and select volume n where n is the number of that volume. assign letter=j (or any other drive letter you want to change the device that was at i: to. It shuld be unused.) Finally, chweck your work with list volume and then exit. There is a gui way to do this to - for a complete explanation, use the windows help system, search for "drve letter" and look for the article titled "Assign, change or remove a drive letter". Good luck, and completely offsite backup your windows system before reinstalling - and then do this. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: justin lackers (dlakxcs) Date: 2005-04-23 18:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=384992 The gtk people have gotten pretty close to fixing this bug. Some code is accessing drive I: on the machine. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170948 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: justin lackers (dlakxcs) Date: 2005-04-23 18:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=384992 The gtk people have gotten pretty close to fixing this bug.

This is still a problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Darrow (jcdarrow) Date: 2005-02-26 12:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1185440 I've now added a USB printer which includes a built-in card reader, besides the other card reader. So now I have to cancel twice - apparently it is checking both devices to see if there are cards in any slots. I'm now on gaim 1.1.4 with the gtk version bundled with it; the problem has remained with each release. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Darrow (jcdarrow) Date: 2004-12-27 11:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1185440 I was now able to find/read #1001597. I do have an external 4-in-1 card reader attached (after a Zip drive and USB flash). So if I understand, either gaim or gtk is trying to read something in each drive at startup, and produces this message when it hits a drive without any media. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Darrow (jcdarrow) Date: 2004-12-27 11:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1185440 I was now able to find/read #1001597.
