    Go to hardware manager, uninstall your drive and reboot your pc. Then windows will auto reinstall your drive upon startup.

    Maybe your drive is faulty? How long have you had it?

    Yes, I was thinking that too.Its about a year and a half old. Its a Samsung in an HP Pavillion. Expected it to lsat longer than that though. Device Manager says device is working properly so maybe it is a hardware problem.
