This is what google says (note the quotes around my search argument):
Your search - "drive A: is not ready. make sure its doors are closed" - did not match any documents.

So either you are the first to talk about this issue on the Internet, or this isn't the exact message. Both make it difficult to help you.

and you posted this, (larger) image;

I will assume this is the same problem and lock that other thread. But I must ask. How did that message appear? In this current thread you state the message appears on close down, but in that image it seems you had a number of applications open and the computer was not ready for close down. What were you doing on the computer when that message appeared?

To be clear, the more information you can give, thye easier it is for members here to help you.

Maybe disable it in the BIOS?

Or reconnect it. Won't harm.
