System.ApplicationException: The media is write protected

[Jen]

My ASP.NET/VB.NET web application has been running fine until today.
When I go to the intranet site's start page, I get a "Server Error in
/AppName" error and the text for the error reads "The media is write
protected". This is the first time any of us have seen this error. Our
web application does not interact at all with any kind of media: CD
ROM, Floppy, DVD ROM - none of it. What would cause this type of error
in an ASP.NET/VB.NET web application? Any suggestions on how to
troubleshoot this kind of thing?

You should debug the application real time if you can, but its likely to be
just what it says - its trying to access something that it has no rights for
or is unreachable, perhap try lowering your apps trust level and see if it a
trust issue

Unfortunately, this is happening in a fielded (production) application
off-site and we are unable to reproduce the error in our development
environment so debugging in real time is not an option. I am assuming
that there is a permissions problem, but I have no idea where to even
start looking.

We also do not have trust levels set up for our web site.

Then you'll need to insert line by line trace statements in your code to see
where the code is actually getting up to before it falls over.
