Error message at boot up

[Don]

Fairly new Sony computer now shows an error message at
boot up; a few clicks on "Cancel" allows it to boot, but
I would like to know what is wrong. Can anyone help an
old man with this? Message is as follows:
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into
drive\Device\harddisk1\DR4."
Thank you for any assistance.

Does the message come from a program called "qttask.exe"? If so just
disable this part of QuickTime from loading at startup.

Thank you for your response. I do not know the source
since it is just a brown box on the screen with the
message I originally sent in it. I looked in Startup and
do not see Quick Time in there, and I wouldn't have the
foggiest notion on how to eisable part of that program
anyway. I am beginning to think I made a big mistake in
getting a computer at age 68 since most suppliers provide
no help and the stuff found in so-called "help" files
uses abbreviations and terminology only understood by
computer people. I will continue to stumble along with
this for a little longer since health and family problems
will probably keep me off line for about a week. Thanks
again for your suggestion, wish I could try it. Don
