DC++

DCPlusPlus.exe - No Disk

Asked by Avocet

I just installed Windows 7 on a new computer. I added my old hard drives, one of which contained DC++. I downloaded DC++ 0.750 and installed it on the new drive. When I run it, a box pops up that says "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk4\DR9." I then have to end the process in the task manager and click Continue in the error box.

I assume that it is looking for file locations on a drive that has a new letter assigned to it. I uninstalled DC++, removed the files from the old drive and deleted all DC++ references in the registry. After reinstalling, the same error occurs.

A similar question was asked here on 2008-03-01, and it was suggested that HashIndex.xml, HashData.xml, and DCPlusPlus.xml should be deleted. These files do not appear to exist on any of my drives.

What else can I try?

Check C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\DC++\ and C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\DC++\ for those files. Make sure they aren't there.
Alternatively try to download the portable version of DC++, unzip it to a folder (NOT into Program Files) and try to run it from there.

eMTee,

That was it! The files weren't showing up because the folder was hidden (I had forgotten to set Windows 7 to show hidden folders--I'm still early in the reinstall phase).

Thanks very much!

I have just upgraded to the latest version of DC and now I keep getting a pop up window with the error message 'There is no hard disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into the drive DR4.
I did the above and cannot find the file. I also checked show hidden files and folders. I closed DC after this and then tried to reopen it. When I did, it came up with the installation again, I clicked 'run and reinstalled it. Now it won't open at all. It just comes up with the same error message.
Please help
Thanks
