    "A Disk Read Error Occurred"

    I tried to install windows 2000, and after i do a format, and after it copies the files, it says the computer must be restarted, but after it restarts, i get a message that says:

    "A Disk Read Error Occurred"

    Do i have to hit f6 and install something?
    i do have SATA.

    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!

  4. An error occurred while writing installation information to disk

    Disk write error problem.

    Got it, Darius. The most common cause of getting a disk write error is having bad sectors on the hard drive. It's also possible that your disk is write protected and have set specific permissions. To help sort out the issue, please run or install the program
    or software in compatibility mode. Follow these steps:

    • Right-click the EXE file or the program's shortcut and select Properties.
    • Select the Compatibility tab.
    • Under Compatibility mode, tick the box for Run this program in compatibility mode and select the appropriate operating system or the version of Windows you want to use.
    • Click Apply, then OK.

    Check out
    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows
    for more information.

    If the issue persists, please send us a screenshot of the error message so we can further check on it.

    Looking forward to hear from you.

    Regards.
