Each time I start the Media Center, I get the above error window that states
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive ." The
options are Cancel, Try Again and Continue.

This is a new computer that came preloaded with XP Media Center. Anyone
ever see this? Ideas?

Thanks.

Gary:

I am not on a HP machine rather a dell. I am not running the Media Center
at all and I am still getting this error.

Also, I don't have Symantec on my machine. Any other suggestions. I can't
get rid of this error and or even using the task manager. Only way is to
reboot and it ultimately comes back. Thanks, Tim

This is a common problem if you HDD disk drive is not up to full speed when
the system tries to boot from it.
A common solution when this is the case is to set the first priority boot
drive to you CD rom drive so that the delay caused by that not working gives
the HDD time to come up to speed.
