No disk in drive error

I searched the forums because I know I have seen this before but I can't find it.

On startup of BS2 2.2.6 on windowsXP I get

There is no disk in the drive. Please insert disk in drive K:

Drive K is a dvd drive

This just started today it would then further just crash so I uninstalled and reinstalled 2.2.6
Now I can bypass the drive error and the program runs.

How do I eliminate the drive error?

Think Inside the box first and if that doesn't work..
Think outside the BOX!

    I’m not sure I’ve seen that one before.· Had you recently loaded a program into the editor from that drive?

    Chris,

    This has been plaguing me as well — both in the Stamp Editor and the Propeller IDE. Mine complains about drives assigned to memory card slots, which is common to another post I read on the same issue. (I've never loaded a program from one of these drives, BTW.) As with metron9's observation, it just started doing it one day, for no apparent reason, and hasn't abated since. Though annoying, it's simple enough to click through the messages. It'd be nice to see it fixed someday, though.

    Hi EveryOne

    This seem to happen when you load Basic Stamp Program on any other than Drive C· and any files that you save for you projects
    while in the Basic Stamps Program

    Just hit cancel two time and you are there

    Now you can copy files from one drive to another drive from My Computer this dose work

    Or just load and save files on drive C this also seem to happen when download file off of the Forum and save them in another drive


    What i do is just put more folders under the Basic Stamp Program Folder and i do not have that problem any more

    There are some programs that·just will not work right if you install or save in any other drive than C



    I hope this helps

    Hi,

    This problem has been fixed in version 2.4.2 of the editor.

    You can download it from our BASIC Stamp's Download Page:
