I have an error message using firadisk (XP_INST.IMA) for installation of WinXP if an internal smart card reader is connected to the PC (dell). See attached image: "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk5\DR7." I can skip it with Cancel or Continue and get the next error messages: "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk5\DR6." "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR4." "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk3\DR5." The installation continues without any new problems. When unplugging the card reader no error messages appear. I guess one script inside the XP_INST.IMA is checking every drive found in the system for some files but the card reader drives are empty and so an error message is thrown. Any ideas for fixing that bug?
