I just upgraded to 5.6.0. I can only open the program by closing the installer, if I try to open any project files or launching the executable directly, it gives me an error box saying:
Title: "gcc.exe - No disk"
Message: "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk3\DR3"
Options: Cancel, Try Again, Continue
Hitting either button gives the same message again. I've tried deleting the Dev-C++ folder in Program Files as well as my user settings in %appdata% and then reinstalling but it's doing the same thing. What's wrong with it? ;-;
I get this error box in 5.6.1, as well. After telling it to continue about 4 times, Dev-C++ loads (although it may be related to why I can't seem to compile anything).
Stopped getting this message after uninstalling MinGW32 version of Dev-C++ 5.6.1 and installing TDM-GCC version of Dev-C++ 5.6.1.
This problem seems to be computer-specific (did not happen on another computer I tested). It may be an AMD v. Intel thing, but I'm not sure. I've only tested on two computers; the error appeared on the AMD and did not appear on the Intel. And it only seems to affect the MinGW compiler, not the TDM-GCC compiler.

Hmm... you get the same error message when debugging a 32-bit program in TDM-GCC, but only then. Maybe it has something to do with how certain computers handle 32-bit applications?
I got a similar error again today, this time it whined about drive letter I: which is a card reader. After trying several other fixes, I tried changing the drive letter to K: and that seems to have fixed the problem. Weird stuff. Apparently it's not a Dev-C++ issue, I saw similar errors being posted by MinGW users in general.
I didn't have the problem with 32-bit TDM-GCC.
