Try the following to figure out what startup file is trying to mount the disk:
$ SEARCH *.COM USER2
I'm guessing it's located in SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM, you can simply edit the
file by doing a:
$ EDIT SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM and either remove the line totally or comment it
out by putting a '!' after the '$' on that line. When done with your edit
do a CTRL-Z to save and exit (assuming you're using the default editor).,
