I'm occasionally recieving the following error message on booting: 'There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device \Harddisk3 \DR12.' All I need do is press cancel a couple of times and everything seems normal. This problem has occurred previously, but only after loading a game disk into the CD ROM Drive. In fact the problem seemed to begin only after installing the game 'Republic: The Revolution'. It's more an irritation than a problem but any ideas on the cause would be welcome.

You can try going to Start > Run > msconfig and delete any mentions of
the game or programs related to it. You can also try to do a clean
boot and see if the problem persists.
