Why not just wait for the DISKINSERTED ICDMP message?  Intuition sends you
DISKINSERTED messages whenever a disk is inserted (no kidding!) or when you
"uninhibit".  The "Insert volume..." requester is, in fact, retried by a
DISKINSERTED IDCMP message.

You could also set the process structure member pr_WindowPTR to -1.  This
will return the "Insert volume..." causing error directly instead of
building a requester.  Of course, there is no easy way to turn around and
build the requester if it turns out that the error called for it.
