Default HDD not recognized

I can't roll back it's drivers because it doesn't have any installed.

Hmm, I reinstalled the MoBo drivers and restarted my computer and the HDD
appears in My Computer now. It's using the same disk drivers that were
already on my computer though. Not sure why they didn't work before.
The mystery disk drive is still there though. I tried uninstalling it, but
it just reappears, and when I have Windows search for a driver, it also
automatically searches for a driver for the HDD that is now working all of a
sudden (and the search fails for both devices).

Your really not looking for HD drivers...you are looking for the drivers for
the SATA controller on your motherboard.............try going to device
manager and see if your HD is listed as being connected to a SATA or EIDE
controller.....try rolling back the driver to the previous version or go to
your mobo website and search for the drivers there.

I used the tool, but it doesn't let me export the info to a file, copy and
paste the text, and it doesn't even show the time the events happened
(only
dates). I looked at it, and all it says is that it installed a bunch of
Updates and that it failed to install the HDD drivers a bunch of times.

Actually, my DVD drive works, but appears in the unknown device section
as
well.

Please try this: open a command prompt window as administrator and type
'perfmon'. When the window opens click on the icon for Reliability
Monitor. Browse around there and see if you can find anything to clue
us all in to what's causing this annoying problem.

Thanks.
