You may need a new disc or at least try someone else and see if it works on either one.

Thanks,
I tried taking it out and putting it back in but still got the message.
I guess the next step is to fine another disk and try it..

Thanks again

I had that problem with my Ver. 3 upgrade disk. The Ver. 2 disk that came with the car worked fine. Got my free upgrade...popped it into the NAV...and nada.

It then took about 3 weeks and half a dozen phone calls to convince the GMNAVDISK people that I wasn't an idiot and did, in fact, know how to instal the disk in the drive and that they needed to send me a new disk because the one they sent me was bupkis.

They finally sent me the new update disk that works fine and wanted to pick up the bupkis disk to be returned to them.

I don't care what they say, they do make non-funtioning disks from time to time. It's not always operator error.

I got that message once. Cleaned the disc and worked fine after.

Eject it and reinstall, should work for you.

I had that happen to me once at the end of a two day drive from Minn to CT. On one of CT's wonderful highways when a crash closed the road. So I needed the Nav to help me find a new route and what did I get but the disk error. I took it out, cleaned it put it back and fortunately it worked. Murphy's law at work.
