Windows - No Disk error

Sometimes, when I run ad-aware, I get this error message. I do have two hard drives, but they are not raid arrayed (to the best of my knowledge, which is always shockingly small).

(Hindsight is right, glc!;p I'm pretty sure I had a card reader hooked up on my installation.)

I am going to change my hard drive letters, and see what happens.

If you have any insight as to if this is a solveable problem, let me know. I could just reinstall the whole OS.

What drive letter is your Windows installation on?

Red face drive letter I

I am going to change all of my drive letters, none will be C.

Or am I crazy for doing this?

If Windows is on I, your best bet is a reinstall - with all other drives disconnected.

Adaware is probably defaulted to look for Windows on the C drive hence the reason it can't find it.
Have you tried telling Adaware to scan the drive your Windows installation is on?
