Folks,

Frequently, but not always, when I open PS CS2, I get an error message that reads something like "no disk in drive N" — which then gives me the choices of continue or cancel. If I hit cancel several times, PS opens successfully.

The drive N that the message refers to is the built in memory card reader on my desktop. This is not a new addition — it has been there since I built the machine, works fine, and the error message did not appear until the last month or so (PS was installed when the computer was built, too).

Adobe Support has been of no help. I’ve searched the web and this forum for similar problems, with no luck. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? It seems that PS must be checking the card reader upon start-up, but I see no way of stopping it from doing so.

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Mike

Michael,

While I suspect you’d already have looked at this, do you by any chance have a media card adapter plugged into one of your reader slots, but with the adapter itself empty? Although not with PS specifically, I saw a similar type of message some time ago with my USB card reader, when I had left an empty mini-SD adapter card plugged into the SD slot. Upon removal of the adapter, no more problems.

Regards,

Daryl

Daryl,

Thanks for the reply. No, the slots are all empty. I can’t figure out why PS wants to check card readers before opening, as I don’t see anything in its settings that instructs it to do so.

Any other suggestions!

Thanks,
Mike
