I have formatted the drive....


There is more than one manufacturer of hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid
state drives (SSDs) along with multiple models of products by each
manufacturer. Could be an internal or external (removable) drive.
Don't expect focused responses on vague descriptions.

deleted the drive....reinstalled the AMD Drivers... and it just keeps
coming back.


Formatting doesn't do a surface check. In a command shell with admin
privileges, run:

chkdsk driveletter /r

In addition, get and use the diagnostics tool from whomever manufactured
the drive (you didn't give brand and model or even the type of drive,
like HDD versus SSD).

For an HDD, use a SMART tool to look at the Current Pending Sector Count
attribute. That shows how many bad sectors were discovered but are
still awaiting reallocation to reserve sectors. That is, sectors were
found that were bad, are pending reallocation to reserve sectors (for
remapping), and once reallocated the Pending count goes down. If the
Pending count does not decrease after, say, a reboot then there are no
more reserve sectors to which bads one can get remapped which means
those sectors remain bad.

That's for an HDD. Again, you never gave any information on just what
drive by brand, model, and type is causing problems. SSDs won't have a
Pending attribute for SMART data due to their wear leveling scheme.
SMART attributes for SSDs have not yet become as standardized as with
HDDs, so get the health monitor tool from whomever made the SSD to see
what it says regarding the health of the SSD.
