MS C++ IDE ERROR - There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk1\dr1
HI
I recently installed a new hard drive on my pc
and for some reason if named the drive to 'H'
anyway i didnt realise this until i installed window xp on it
and about 30gigs of stuff off my other pc
everything works fine
excpet microsoft visual studio v6
when running c++
it pops up a message
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk1\dr1"
and i cant get rid of this message it keeps popping up
and i have to close visual studio down
there doesnt seem to be nay reason for the message popping up
it just does between 2-5 minutes
i think that its becasue my drive has been renamed as i didnt have this problem before
though it even happen with new complied programs not just old-drive ones
so i guess vis stud is looking for a c -drive
i have tried the following after searching on net
delete the OPT file and restarting
deleting the files in the debug folder
nothing is working
does any one have any ideas on how i can solve this problem?
thanks in advance

just to clarify for 'bytes00'
this ms studio open fine
it works fine
it compiles and executes
then between 2-5 mins i get the stupir windows alert message
which wont be closed, confirmed or ignored
as it just pops up repeatedly until i have to close ms down
thanks

ok this is what i tried
reinstall - it didnt solve problem
ran regedit looking for any links to C://
didnt find any
though i wasnt entirely sure wot i was looking for
i just checked the hkey_current_user keys in the software>>microsoft visual folder
they all seem to point to H;// as it should be
arhhhhh
any other ideas?

Once I get such message from Visual Studio during compilation. I found that VS had the reason to show such message: somewhere in the project or in VS settings there was CD or DVD directory. Possible places:
1) #include directive. For example:
#include "E:\file1.h" // E is CD drive
2) List od additional include/library directories in the project settings
3) List of include/library directories in VS options.

How drive letters look like now? I suppose, that you have something like:
a: (fdd)
...
d: (cdrom)
...
h: (hdd, former c:)
If you still have unpartitioned space on HDD, you can create new partition and assign c: letter for it (right click on 'my computer', manage, storage, disk management). Renaming h: might be bad idea (system still should boot, but your installed programs might not found proper path).
