\Device\harddisk\Dr6 is a truncated kernel name
(also called "DOS device name") of a disk device.
My tool ListUsbDrives shows it, so you can at
least identify which drive is causing this:

To discover why this drive is accessed at all
is difficult.

If you don't need the drive then you can
deactivate it in the device manager.

The message is probably being caused by a removable device -

"There Is No Disk in the Drive. Please Insert a Disk into Drive
\Device\harddisk\Dr1" Error Message When You Start Your Computer
