The drive is not ready for use; it's door may be open. Please check drive E: and make sure that a disk in inserted and that the drive door is closed.

The error is no big deal... so someone can't access the drive. But the MAJOR problem is when that error is on the screen. WINDOWS 2000 thinks it needs to SHUT DOWN ALL INTERNET ACTIVITY! I even looked in the error log and it told me that my 3com card has GONE off line and that it need to be checked for a malfunction! AS soon as you click on of the options all activity returns to normal... Does anyone know of a way to maybe remove this error.. and put a timer on it or something... becuase when you are hosting web sites and things like that for other people.. you can't have stuff go down like this! Over a STUPID error!
 
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!!!
