Drive A not ready…the drive is not ready for use it's door may be open Please check drive A and make sure that a disk is inserted?


Does that happen to you!!! Well it happened to me. I got a message tell me “Drive not ready the drive is not ready for use it's door may be open Please check drive A and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed?” and it gives me three options Continue, Cancel, and Try again
Well the answer is so easy but first you should know what cause this problem to happen. Let say you have programs and one of your programs is checking for a floppy drive I'd guess antivirus. So you have two options to do that but first of all do the basic steps which are: scan your computer well with antivirus software, Defragment your hard drive, and do the windows disk clean up and error checking. If this step doesn’t work then pick one option from the following options:

Option 1
Disabling the floppy controller in your Device Manager:
a.       Right click on My Computer
b.      Choose Manage
c.       Go to Device Manager.  Or [Diagnostics > Device Manager double click on it]
d.      Look for “FLOPPY DISC CONTROLLER”
e.       Right click on it then choose to uninstall or Disable it.
f.       Also uninstall any Floppy Drive.
g.      Then Restart your operating system.

Option 2
Disable it in the BIOS:
            From BIOS, choose drive ‘A’, select the option "none" then save.

Do you face this Error while you are writing code to generate xml file from java? Exception in thread "main" org.w3c.dom.DOMException : HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: An attempt was made to insert a node where it is not permitted.        at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.CoreDocumentImpl.insertBefore(Unknown Source)        at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.NodeImpl.appendChild(Unknown Source)        at generatexml.WriteXMLFile.main( WriteXMLFile.java:30 ) Well the answer is: Don't insert the node where it isn't permitted. Change your generated directory file path from 'C' to other directory ex, D or to any directory you have. Make sure the ‘appendChild’ is referring to the right element.
