I accidentally typed A: but wanted to go to my network drive S:, and am now getting this error:
Not ready error reading drive A:
Abort, Retry, Fail?
What should I do?
When I do "Abort", the message comes again.
When I do "Retry", the message comes again.
When I do "Fail", it tells me something about current drive not valid, and when I hit enter, the message comes again.

1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again
You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

It was lost in translation 
the German text of that message can be translated to Ignore or Skip, but not to Fail.

Typing A: takes me to a Google search: http://www.google.com/search?q=A:&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
Edit: Don't tell me you put melted butter in your A drive to pull out the disk.... http://www.boredatuni.com/stuff.php?stuffId=72
(i searched for "RANDOM STUFF" and found that. Coincidence?)

Okay, the poll is quite obvious... I now have the next problem.
It shows:
Current drive is no longer valid>
What should I type there?
