Windows No Disk

This box is seen when I initially boot up. I can cancel the box, it goes
away & everything appears to be OK. Today I was running Spybot Search &
Destroy & the box appeared. This time none of the options really helped.
the "X" didn't work, nor did cancel, continue, or try again. The only way I
could close it was to first close Spybot.

I do see your reply to Micky, but it still isn't enough information to
give you focused troubleshooting. Go to the link I originally gave you
to see what kind of information to include in a newsgroup post.

If that is too difficult - and it can be very difficult for a
non-technical person to explain what is happening - take the machine to
a professional computer repair shop (not your local version of
BigStoreUSA). There is no shame in doing this and often someone who can
actually see the computer will be able to fix a problem very quickly
where people only reading a sketchy description of the issues will not.

I did read it. It still didn't provide any useful information.

What box? What did it say in the box? Please provide the *exact* verbatim
text of the message.

Does it always appear when running SS&D? Does it ever appear when not
running SS&D? What options did it give you? Exactly what happened when you
tried them?

People here will be glad to help you, but you have to give us information to
work with.
 
The person gave out all the info on this that there is. But to rewor
it, sometimes a dialog box will apear titled "Windows - N
Disk". It contains the message "There is no disk in th
drive. Please insert a disk into drive.". It give you thre
buttons, "Cancel", "Try Again"
"Continue". Even though my windows are themed the dialo
box is not and looks like an old windows 2000 box

I get this error sometimes when I'm saving files to disk with firefox
I get the error occasionly with other programs. On some reboot i
happens on others it doesn't. It a bastard of an error cause i
doesn't give any useful information

When the error is occuring in firefox, my last saved file was onto C
so it saves the file to C: after I've clicked Try Again or Continu
multiple times

I doubt that is enough info to fix the problem. But that's about al
the info I have on this error

Run MSCONFIG. On the Startups page, disable all entries
except those directly related to your real-time firewall and
anti-virus software, and reboot.

If that resolves the problem, re-enable the entries one at a time,
rebooting after each, until the problem re-occurs. The last entry
enabled is the problem entry. Disable that entry and continue
checking any remaining entries. Post any and all problem entries
here so that we may identify the culprit.

Note that some entries will re-enable themselves automatically.
The only way to disable these entries is to uninstall the software
to which they relate.

Alternatively, use HijackThis and post your log to the relevent
forums for assistance.

Also, the following would appear to relate to this particular problem:
