 Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:11 am Post subject: PS CS3 startup often get "No Disc in Drive {-}" er |
 |
|
Hi,
I've spent half hour searching forum to no avail - so I apologize ahead of time if I'm asking something which has already been addressed, but I couldn't find answer. 
Basically frequently when I startup my PS CS3 within the startup sequence for the software it pops up the error "No Disc in Drive E:" - which refers to an optical drive on my computer which I very rarely even use. I click "Continue" and it pops up again - sometimes 3 times - after which PS loads perfectly fine.
I double checked my scratch disc settings and they don't refer to the E: drive of course it's not even available as an option, but I figured I'd check anyway.
Any other places / settings I can check to remedy this? Any one else come across this?
As to some background for my usage of PS - I work as a graphics designer and media director in a not-for-profit and work several hours each day with it - so typically it is 'open' in my windows XP system for several days at a time until I see memory / performance hits begin to surface and completely close it to restart later in day. I have 2.33Ghz Dual Core with 2G of Ram. My 'threshold' for considering closing the app is when the Virtual Memory (or Working Set Memory) gets up to 850-900meg.
Thanks for your time. |

Have you tried un-mounting the virtual drive? Short of that I'm no good to you  Welcome to the forum.

Umm... not quite sure what you mean by that... way back in the day (about 10yrs ago) when I made my own duplicating tower I recall stuff about virtual drives...
It has persisted past a complete shut down and reboot of the computer system, which I think would accomplish essentially the same thing, but again I could easily be mistaken about it.
Point being - my E: drive is a physical optical DVD burning drive, not a 'virtual drive'...
Thanks for the quick attention to my post - and for the 'WELCOME' - appreciate it  |

Hello again...
I am still facing same problem - kinda learned to live with it - but anyway, Googled it again this evening, saw this post, and read it forgetting that I was the one who posted it...
Am I really the only one who encounters this?
Any feedback is appreciated... |

I was having this with a new install.
The PC has Drive D but it is a group of card readers on the front.
Normally Drive D does not show up until a card is inserted.
Photoshop seemed to be trying to find a recently opened item located on Drive D - I had quickly tried it to be sure the card readers were working.
Solution - in PS > File > open recent > click clear recent.
Probably more likely to happen if you don't correctly eject the drive (memory card) before removing. |
