I opened a file in PS 6 from a disk in the A drive. Now I can't open any files and modify them, with out PS reading from (at least that's what I think it's doing) the A drive. In the start up splash screen, this doesn't happen untill PS tries to "initialize menus" then I have to insert a disk (any disk) or the A drive will go crazy for ages untill I do. Any onw know why this is happening and how to fix it?

I dont know for sure, but i know photoshop keeps a list of recently opened files in a cache or something. Maybe it has to do with making sure the "hard disk/removable hard disk" actually exists...? If nothings in the drive, then it doesn't exist really... maybe that's why? Try opening and closing a bunch of files until the file you opened from the floppy is no longer in the list, restart PS and see what happens? I'd double check 'cept i have no floppies.

Perhaps deleting the "recently opened files" list???

That happens to a guy at work all the time and drive him bonkers when it does that. Of course he always keep his stuff on the A drive and I keep telling him to move it to the hard drive first. I would do like Slynky said and open up 5 or 6 files and SAVE them till it goes away then always move your work to the hard drive before you work on it. Why work off the A drive anyways its slower than snot.

This happend to me on a previous computer. I found if I opend a file from a CD and saved it to the Hard drive it stopped photoshop from going to the A drive next time I used it. You can delete the file from the HD if you dont want to keep it. May be worth a try.
