Hi,

I think this is a problem of DriveNotReady. Did you try to disable the
DriveNotReady check in DiskClassCheckReadWrite? The problem is, it exist
DriveNotReady for Partition0 and Partition1. If is no disk in the drive at
boot time, DriveNotReady for Partition0 is set. This value is never changed
again. DiskClassCheckReadWrite fails always, if the partition table is read
from Partition0.
