Disconnect the 1571 or whatever other drive it is you have connected. Or do you have a C128D with the internal 1571?

If it's internal and can't easily be switched off, you need to change the device numbers. You can do it through software:

1. Turn then 1541 off.
2. Run the following commands to set the internal drive to device #9

CLOSE 15: OPEN 15, 8, 15
PRINT #15, "M-W", CHR$(119) CHR$(0) CHR$(2) CHR$(9+32) CHR$(9+64)
CLOSE 15

(note that the CHR$ entries are all part of that second line which starts with PRINT #15)

3. Try getting a directory from a disk using the new device number

LOAD"$",9

4. Turn on the 1541. It should default to device #8 and there shouldn't be a conflict as the internal drive is now #9.
