Windows No Disk on start up (Cross post)

[Zipadeedoodaa]

Apologies for cross posting

I do hope I'm in the right group.

On start up I get a dialogue box headed Windows No Disk and in the body of
the box it states :

Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c
75b6bf9c

This happens at about the same time as AVG 7.5 free edition launches to do
an automatic update on start up.

Could I ask if anyone has any idea as to what this problem is, and hopefully
,how I can correct it.

Many thanks indeed.

You didn't crosspost, which would have been all right. You multiposted
which is not A Good Thing. Here is a link explaining the difference:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting

You have answers in the other newsgroup to which you posted. If you have
forgotten where you posted or can't find your post, use Google Groups
Advanced Search and search for your name.

Cross-posting would have been fine, but you did *not* cross-post, you
multi-posted.

Please do not send the same message separately to more than one
newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just fragments the thread,
so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to see answers
from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the
newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message
multiple times instead of once (they would see it only once if you
correctly crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets
you poorer help than you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please
do so by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

Thank you, Ken for this explanation to a 75 year old inexperienced poster.
I think it's the first time I've ever "multi-posted" and I wasn't aware of
the difference. Your explanation is much more acceptable to me than the
previous one which felt like an admonishment without knowing the facts. I
genuinely thought my original post was in the wrong group and there had been
no answers when I posted elsewhere.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you, Ken for this explanation to a 75 year old inexperienced poster.

You're welcome, from an almost 70-year-old very experienced poster.
Glad to help.

I think it's the first time I've ever "multi-posted" and I wasn't aware of
the difference. Your explanation is much more acceptable to me than the
previous one which felt like an admonishment without knowing the facts.

There's an occasional exception, but very few people here want to
admonish anyone, for this or anything else. But sometimes we will post
things matter-of-factly, and not take the extra time to convey
politeness. That doesn't mean the poster is trying to be rude or to
admonish. I try to be as polite as possible, but I know there are
times when my tone has been misunderstood, and I've inadvertently
offended someone.

I
genuinely thought my original post was in the wrong group and there had been
no answers when I posted elsewhere.

That of course is the situation where you hadn't planned in advance to
multi-post. Of course if that happens and you want to post again to a
different group, you have no choice but to multi-post. But it's
probably a good idea to begin your post with something like

"Forgive me for multiposting. I posted this in xxxxxxxx yesterday, and
got no answers, so I thought I would try again here, which might be a
better group for my question."
