    Could it be the quickplay keys driver?
    That one is hard to spot...

    Well I simply looked for a drivers in c:\windows\ for the unknown device and it installed a hard-drive driver of some sort. Simple solution just under my nose...doh :)

    For some reason it required the driver for the deleted partition. When creating partitions the same driver is also required it seems.
