Solve : Can't run Adaware or Spybot?

Answer»

I am running windows XP home on a Dell 4500 Dimension. I recently upgrade from my 80gb to a 400gb hard drive. When I loaded the operating system back on it gave the drive the letter K . I have SINCE downloaded ADAWARE and Spybot search and Destroy. But when I try to run the programs I get a window that says   Windows-No Disk  , There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive. Then I have 3 choices Cancel , Try Again or Continue. If I click on continue repeadly Spy Bot will run. Any Help This is driving me crazy. Is it because of the drive letter. It was loaded to drive K.

Thanks BaumerIf that is the only hard drive in the machine it should be C. If it is not, REMOVE all partitions, create what you like and load Windows on C. There is no advantage in a single 400 Gig. drive, but that's your choice.

Make sure at least SP2 is installed, the firewall is on and Spybot is loaded before even connecting to the Internet. Don't plug in an ethernet cable or anything until that machine is protected, or you will be doing all of this again very soon!
