Yep.
It seems there is an important step that can't be avoided after unlocking the bootloader and before flashing a recovery, that is you must reboot the device to reestablish the file system, not go straight into flashing a recovery.

Codec I suggest you flash the factory image and try again. I will soon.

Was trying to backup my ROM with clockwork recovery but it fails every time and I looked in control panel and noticed this, how do I fix it?
I wouldn't expect the above to be a problem for the recovery backup as I would assume it would be using your Samsung ABD drivers. The above is, I think, Windows looking for MTP drivers.

I used WugFresh toolkit to root, you are referring SDK manager, I could never get that to launch, it just flashes the command prompt and then immediately closes.

Install the Universal Naked Drivers and you'll be good to go.

I did that but why does it say Samsung Galaxy Nexus ADB interface? Wast trying to backup ROM again and clockwork is giving me an error saying error processing ROM manager script. Please verify that you are preforming the backup, restore or ROM installation from ROM manager v4.4.0.0 or higher.

That's fine. Mine does the same, but ADB works, which is all that matters to me. Not sure about the ROM Manager issue though. I install all of my recoveries via fastboot or through flashable zips.

What he's mentioning occurs because he doesn't have the Java JDK installed on his PC. Once that is done, you have to set a variable in the environment to detect JAVA_HOME.
