 I get this too. If I dismiss the "Please insert..." dialog with a
 Pretzel-Dot, I get "The Disk <BDBD> could not be used because it is not in
 any drive". Yeah, no kidding. Followed by "Please insert...". This usually
 ends up being an endless loop, so I just punch the reset switch. 

 Postscript: I don't care what Apple says, everyone should install the
 "Programmer's switch".
