  2. Random folders appearing to my new hard drive

    You need to find out what is creating them exactly, right click the folders and see what they are tied to.

  3. Random folders appearing to my new hard drive

    In process explorer right click on columns > select columns > process disk tab > enable disk delta write bytes
    Order the process list by disk delta write bytes columns and monitor which process springs on top when files and folders are being created.
    If it's one of the svchost.exe instances then look at it's modules and threads in the lower pane to detect the culprit.
