My old Maxtor harddrive decided to die on my, so i have bought a new 160GB hitachi deskstar.
Everything seems to be fine although, when i run Spybot i get this message coming up when its running the scan, saying thre is no disk in the drive, (picture below)

it keeps doing to no matter if i click continue, try again or cancel, if i click cancel orcontinue it carries on with the scan but shows up again. alot.
I know nothing about harddrives really, please help!

thanks.

[EDIT: it's an IDE drive if that matters]

Hi,

I doubt this is a problem with your hard drive - more a configuration issue with SpyBot.
