However, the next day I ran a hardware diagnostic test and windows shows that everything is working perfectly. I ignored the issue thinking that maybe the computer was over heated. A few days ago I attempted to run a game on my computer and I noticed that the disk couldn’t be read. I own a HP Pavilion Slimline s3712f Desktop – Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2220 2.4GHz – 3GB DDR2 SDRAM – 500GB with Windows Vista. I tried going to Disk Management to change the drive name and path, but its not possible and right now my external Harddrive has gone for repairs.ĭo I need to get it back b4 I can change the drive name? Im really confused as this error message is quite annoying. Please insert a disk into drive\Device\harddisk1\DR33” The Title bar of the error message I see is called “TV series.exe -No Disk” and the error message is “There is no disk in the drive. What am driving at is that one of the folders on my harddrive is called “TV series”. I recently took it to a hardware expert and he said its probably a hardware problem. When I checked the properties, it showed me the correct capacity I had on my external harddrive, only problem was I couldnt view my files. It was as if my files of about over 400GB vanished, only a few files of 1KB or so were visible. Recently, my external harddrive which is 1TB in capacity, stopped showing all my files on it when I plugged it in.

I have a similar problem (no disk in drive message) and Ive tried most solutions on the net, and they are not working for me. Hope this helps your friend get things working! You can find out for yourself by popping over to the HP Support Center and searching on your workstation. There are no additional drivers for Windows XP and HP doesn’t support the use of XP on this machine, from what I can see. Make sure that both the Start drive letter and the End drive letter are the same. Under Reserved drive letters, select M (or the previously assigned letter) from the pull-down menu. The System Properties window appears.ĭouble-click the CD-ROM name, and click the Settings tab. What you’re seeing is that quite often, when you upgrade Windows, the OS can change the drive letters from the default, which, as you are seeing, causes all sorts of recognition problems.Ĭlick Properties. The HP 7100 Workstation is an older machine that didn’t ship with XP (which it’s now running) so this suggests the machine has been upgraded.
