Original Title: regsvr.exe - No Disk

Hi,

I receive an error message whenever I insert my pen drive or memory card into my Laptop. The error message is "regsvr.exe - No Disk There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive\Device\Harddisk1\DR1". There are only three options - Cancel, Try Again and Continue. None of them works. I have to manually shutdown the system to get rid of this. Please help me to get rid of this error message forever. Your response in this regard will be highly appreciated. Regards Sashwat

    Hello, Sashwat

    If possible, test the flash drive in another computer and check if you are able to access it or not. If not, the drive may be bad.

    If it is a USB card reader with an SD card, rather than a dedicated flash drive, test if the card is recognized and accessable in other readers/devices. Also check the metal contacts on the card to ensure there is nothing blocking the metal contacts. If the card is unable to be read in other devices and the contacts are clean, the card is likely bad.

    If other devices can access the drive, but not through the card reader, the card reader could be bad.

    Hello Sashwat,

    As you have not installed Quick Time Player, you need not follow the steps mentioned in Method 1, you can proceed to follow the steps given in Method 2 and get back with the result.

    Hi Divya,

    Thank you so much for your response. However, I do not have Quick Time player installed in my system. Please advise whether I have to install the Quick Time first and then follow the above Method 1 steps or simply I can go ahead and try the Method 2.

    Hi Sashwat,

    • Do you have Quick Time Player installed on your computer?

    Method 1: If yes, clear the temporary files which are created by Quick Time player by following this step:

    a. Open QuickTime Player.

    b. From the File menu, choose Open Recent, and then choose Clear Menu.

    c. Restart the computer and check now.

    This issue occurs when all the following conditions are all true:

    • You have a removable drive, such as an Iomega Zip drive, configured as drive letter C.
    • You do not have a removable disk in the removable disk drive.

    To resolve the issue, use one of the following methods:

    • Insert a removable disk in the removable drive before you start the computer.
    • Change the drive letter assignment for the removable drive to a letter other than C.

    Method 2: To change the drive letter assignments in Windows, follow the steps mentioned in the article below:

    Change, add, or remove a drive letter
