"There is no disk in the drive"

[kp]

My apologies if this question has been posted. I've searched a couple of
days worth of posts, but haven't seen it.

After I take a CD from a drive (using the right-click|Eject procedure), I
sometimes, but not always, get an error message that there is no disk in the
drive. "Please insert a disk into <drive>:"

Absolutely won't go away until I put the disk back in.

I've found articles on the Knowledge Base about this, but none seem to
specifically apply to me. I'm running XP Pro on a home computer network. All
three of our XP computers have developed this phenomenon since sometime in
mid-November. Seems like a fix-able bug to me...

Any suggestions appreciated.Thanks!

According to the MS Knowledge Base pressing the F5 Function may solve
the problem. Most of the time rebooting will be the only way.

Now I hadn't seen that KB article. Just hitting F5?

What type of CD? eg lets say I was running a program off the cd. During
the time you are running the program the pc treates the cd as a hard
drive. If I take the cd out before closing down the program I will get
the same message.

These are data CDs I burn myself. It's not when I'm actually burning them,
though. It happens when I take one that I burned previously and plunk it
into a drive to view the contents.

hm. for some reason my timely reply did not post.

These are not program CDs. They are simple data cds that I burn myself. This
does not happen in the burning process. It happens when I pop one it to look
at the info on it.
Thanks
