Windows 7 SP1 x64 Occasional Powershell Error Message- There is no disk in the drive
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
Every once in a while when I launch powershell on my Windows 7 SP1 x64 machine I get this error.
None of the buttons will get rid of the error, it just comes back, I have to close the broken powershell window to dismiss the error. A reboot will fix it for a while until it decides to come back (not a real solution). Any ideas on why powershell would intermittently look for a disk?

What is drive D:? Is it a optical drive? An SATA or SAS disk? USB? Firewire? iSCSI? Is there actually a disk there?

It's an optical drive, there are rarely disks in it. And powershell will launch fine 99% of the time with no disk in D:

I noticed this happens if there is a disk in the drive at the time it is booted. If the disk is removed prior to shutting the PC down, this error will occur. The only fix I have come up with is to eject the disk when shutting down the PC, at the point when it displays the message "Shutting Down". The next time the PC is booted, there is no disk in the drive to be referenced. The other way is to manually force eject the cd/dvd tray, if the PC has no power to it, using a paper clip as a pointer in the small hole.
