It sounds like you have something set to start with Windows that
requires the CD. Use the System Configuration Utility to find out what
it is:
Start>Run>msconfig [enter]
This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab
and find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply
and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time
you do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick
the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".

If you are getting the error message before Windows is booted, post back
with that information and the exact error message. Your original post
is ambiguous.
