LiveCode Forums.

I have started getting an alert with a red X and a "Clang" when I start LiveCode 4.5 now. It says

"LiveCode.exe - No Disk. There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk1\DR2". This happens every time I start LC now.

It comes up with three buttons, "Cancel", "Continue", and "Try Again". I have to press these in any kind of order about 14 times before LC starts, and then it appears to run normally. My entire system appears to have not changed and everything else works fine. I looked through my system and can find nothing named "Harddisk1" or "DR2". I ran a Registry search for "Harddisk1" and found nothing.

I hadn't made any kind of concious changes to the system, and it doesn't appear that any automatic updates of any kind have coincided with this starting. I'm running Vista x64. The work with LC I was doing just before this started was learning how to use SQLite with the tutorial, building a simple SQLite stack, experimenting with Drag and Drop, and on the PC compressing and sending some jpeg snapshots via Outlook.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Walt

Note that I did a complete removal of LiveCode from my system, a reinstall with a freshly downloaded copy, and the problem still occurs.

Did you write to "support@runrev.com"?

I've had the same thing right after a fresh installation on win7 x64 desktop. I should check to see if it still happens, as I normally use a vista32 laptop with no problems.

I cleaned out everything I could from Windows, reinstalled, and still got the issue. In searching on line, it seems to be a regularly occurring issue involving failing hard drives, although in my case I only get it from LC. I built a new hard drive for my laptop and the problem seems to have disappeared. It may have been a bad disk surface where LC was, except the removals, cleaning the disk, and reinstalls should have relocated it.
