"No Disk" error occurring while profiling application
Category: Troubleshooting & error messages
Date: 11 May 2011
Product: ANTS Performance Profiler
When performance or memory profiling an application, it may return an error message similar to:
MyApplication - No Disk
-----------------------------------
There is no disk in the drive.Please insert a disk into drive
\Device\Harddisk1\DR2
This can happen when the source code location matches a removable drive that has been disconnected. It does not matter if the software was built on a completely different computer - if the drive letter is the same as a disconnected removable drive on the computer used for profiling, this error will occur.
There are a few possible ways to fix this:
· Reconnect the removable drive
· Disconnect the removable device that normally mounts the drive
· Change the drive letter using Windows Computer Management Console (Disk Management)
· Delete the PDB files applicable to the code you are profiling
