Can't find drive on startup error

I recently installed and IDE zip drive on one of my scope PCs so I can transfer files to a sampler. After installing the drive, everytime Scope loads up it gives me an error that it cannot find a drive, and I can select cancel or continue. Either way it gives the same message window another few times, and then loads up scope fine.
It's not causing problems, just annoyance. Is there a config file that I can alter so that it doesn't look for this drive? I don't even recall the error message describing what drive is missing. Should I just do a reinstall of the software?
thanks

Yeah, I think Gary has a point. If it has a disk in it, it should stop complaining.
I got rid of the floppy drive on my EX5 and it always complains that there is no floppy drive. I just select my HDD emulator and it doesn't complain.

Hi guys
I think I've found the problem. My wireless mouse's battery was low and I think this was resetting the USB port which I believe the hard drive is coupled with. The battery died today.
No probs today now, I've changed the battery but I'll give it a week.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hmm,
I used to have a wireless mouse, but it should start blinking when the battery was low. I don't trust wireless. I don't even trust wifi! Yes, my mouse has Bluetooth, but I have it plugged in anyway. Wires never bothered me anyway. Oh yes, that reminds me, I have to clean up my router and switch. There are a lot of ethernet cables plugged in there that are connected to nothing, hmm...
Glad you fixed the glitch!

I should 've thought of that!
My BT usb mouse ('MiniCute', ergonomic) has a scroll wheel which starts blinking slowly when battery low, so I can't forget about it.
I had that 2 months ago.
Glad you found it

Sorry I didn't mean to hijack the thread. I wondered where the post ended up.
