Application Specific
The combination of QuickTime 2.x, an IDE or SCSI hard drive, and various application programs can cause the error message "Please Insert the Disk: <Hard Disk>" to appear when shutting down.
This issue occurs with versions of Virex before 5.06.
Workarounds
There are several workarounds to the issue.
- Upgrade Virex to version 5.06 or later.
- Switch from QuickTime 2.x to 1.6.2. However, this negates the advantages of using the advanced features of QuickTime 2.x.
- Place a floppy disk in the drive or mount a server before shutting down. This is the simplest solution to the problem.
