K. I went back and did some more options with the chkdsk. Then I did chkdsk /r again and everything finished. And now it still brings up the new hardware wizard. I look at my hdd properties under the general tab and see that the device usage box is greyed out. For the driver file details, i see the driver files: disk.sys, partmgr.sys, and snapman.sys. The first two have green checks on the side of them. The snapman.sys does not. I also ran a diagnostic with Seatools for windows. The short and long tests failed. Im beginning to think that this is just a driver for the hdd which calls itself fastfat. The snapman.sys has this company named Acronis on it. Acronis is also on the disk wizard program. So Im going to look up info on this snapman.sys (feels like im getting closer to a solution). Everything else is still running good that I know of...

Don't know how to modify my last post so sorry for double posting......but after doing a system restore after all of the above, I do not get the driver message anymore. I dont know if the problem is truely gone but it seems like it. Only time will tell. Thanks for the assistance ;)
