Like everything in this planet even computers too have their fair share of quirks which are typically expressed through strange errors messages. Most of us can recount of situations when your machine suddenly behaves strangely and after you reboot it, the PC goes back to working as normal. Of the several quirks that I have experienced while working on my PC, one of the most bizarre one involved receiving a No Disk error while opening a zip archive file using WinZip. I was simply bewildered by the error message because the zip drive that I wished to access was sitting pretty on my Desktop and not on any DVD. After a long and stressful hour, I was able to resolve the issue and I am sharing my experiences here with you.

It should be noted that this error is not a consistent occurring, so some people may experience while others may not depending on the exact set of actions you had performed.
To resolve the error, all you need to do is to press the cancel option when the error message comes across on the screen and you should be able to continue work as normal. Also it should be noted that after you open a zip archive stored in the DVD drive and then if you open any other zip file present on your system, you will not experience this specific error at all.
