Hi papa_lazarou,

Welcome to the forum. Can you take a look at this thread and see if this is the same situation you are seeing? Error Message scanning MBR Sector (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=12533).

The two key points involved either this:

-{ Quote: "More often than not in XP this happens if you are running NOD32 as a limited user with insufficient rights for access." }-

Or this:

-{ Quote: "I get this 'problem' too, but it also happens in some other selected programs. It's not a bug in NOD32, but the result of a DVD-RAM drive I have installed, which for some reason identifies itself as a fixed (optical disk) drive.
.
.
I have a Sony Vaio, and my memory stick slot is listed under 'fixed drives'.
.
.
To confirm Steve's observation, I have just disabled my memory stick slot listed under fixed drives and launched the NOD scanner - No error message. " }-
