Default No disk in drive?

when booting and when opening any number of programs, the error "no disk in
drive. Please insert disk" Keeps popping up.
Can cancel try again or continue. Several clicks on any command will
clear it but how do I get rid of it or stop it in the first place. No
changes to system - no new software and have restored to 3 days ago before
there was a problem- Help?

Default No disk in drive?

Is the floppy drive or a CD drive look like they are trying to be accessed? Windows might be
looking here for a recent item that was used.

Nope. No access try for floppy or cd/dvds. I hit cancel and the program
goes ahead and loads. VERY annoying! and I have no idea why.
