Nevermind them. At this point They're just trying to find a reason for the prompt you got. Of course, if you were booting from that drive it would be labelled the system drive and described as such in the error message, and no reference to "disk utilities" would be made.

Sounds to me like a program you have installed likes to access your hard drives. perhaps windows search is indexing it, or something similar.
