Well, it looks like Barry Eynon was correct.  Turning off DfaultD
gets rid of the problem where you are asked to insert your hard
disk.  Of course, if it were that simple, it wouldn't be a computer
problem, now would it.

It seems that the bug only manifests when DfaultD hasn't been
utilized.  I leave my Mac on most of the time, and the one application
I use the most was registered with DfaultD, which is why the problem
wasn't consistent with me.

Kind of sad, really, since DfaultD is pretty useful.
