Svchost.exe - no disk error? how do i get rid of this?

Hi, My PC's has been trouble free for the last 16 months! no viruses, spyware or anything! but in the last week i've been getting a message that pops up every 5-10 minutes saying the following:

svchost.ese - no disk

There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive D.

You then have to hit cancel 10-20 times until is goes.

Any ideas how to solve this one?

Cheers.

hi

when you start up svchost loads services from the registry to run. there can be more than one instance of svchost in the task manager (conrol-alt-delete)

if your main boot drive (the one with windows on) has been renamed then it could be the case that a removeable drive is now calling it's self c drive.

for example if windows resides on d: and c: is a memory stick drive then svchost will be looking for the services to load in the c drive. so if there is nothing in c: it will ask you to load the disk (whereas in reality it should be looking in d:)

click start- my computer to check which drive has the windows folder and then rename the drive if neccessary.

feel free to mail me for further advice/help
