I've just started to get this error message randomly (sometimes when opening
an application or opening Windows Explorer, etc...:

"There Is No Disk in the Drive. Please Insert a Disk into Drive
\Device\harddisk\Dr6"

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time.

Googling that message finds these threads - do these apply to you?

Very little info there, so here's the best I can do:
Run chkdsk on the drive. Note: If the drive if failing, a chkdsk could
render this disk unusable.

Download & run the mfr's test program on the drive.

It's probably beginning to have bad blocks that chkdsk may be able to mark
out. But if more happen, the disk is going to be trash very soon.

HTH,
