Several errors related to recovery of A305-s6837

Question

Hey everyone, had to use the recovery disks for my mom's laptop and am encountering several errors post-recovery.
1. The first error? is that everytime Windows is loaded I get a box labeled System Preparation 3.14 toolbox, it hangs around for a few seconds and then disappears.
2. When windows loads, I get a auto-installer trying to load "Toshiba Desktop links". It does this everytime I load the software.
3. next, it will pop-up a box checking for network connection and warning box that requires wireless and lan lines to be disconnected. If you try to cancal the error, it will keep popping up until you turn it off and then back on.
When windows reloads, notepad opens up and I get what looks to be an error relating to "CheckFM" and/or "InstallFM".
4. Get an error message that Windows cannot find C:\b27238e.exe
5. Had to turn the user account's off because the administer account had a password that was different than the one I had on it pre-crash.
What had happened was that the computer was freezing up within 3-4 minutes of loading. It didn't matter what program you loaded, it would freeze. Anyway, any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks...

Those symptoms are consistent with restoring to a drive with advanced-format technology. See my post here.
Is this a replacement drive? If so, what is the make and specific model?
this is not a hardware issue.  
If this is the trouble, I would certainly call it a hardware issue.
