  1. How to fix I/O errors with DVD drive in windows 10?


    I think i pooped my DVD drive.


    So. Ive been trying to fix this for a couple months, and cant find a fix.


    like it says in the title, when I try to access my DVD drive in windows 10, i get an I/O error.


    It knows its there. when I take it out it does that notification sound of hardware being dissconected.


    Here's pretty much what the error said: Drive E:\ is not accessible. The reason for the error is an I/O issue.


    Its not what it said EXACTLY, but almost. if i put a DVD or CD in, my drive doesn't even spin. The drivers are OK. and windows detects its there. what the hell is going on here?


    Please contact me soon. i would really appreciate it.


    EDIT: So. I forgot some information:

    SPECS

    MODEL: Dell Latitude E6420

    CPU: Intel i5 at 3.0Ghz

    GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000

    DVD drive: MATSHITA DVD+RW Drive

    HDD: Hitachi 260GB

    Also its a little older. And I tested it in Dell BIOS Diagnostics, and every test passed, for the DVD drive. So it should be in working condition.

    Windows 7 Professional keeps dropping the DVD/CD drive

    Working with a fresh install (2nd attempt) of Windows 7 Professional on new hardware. The motherboard is a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P. Running 4G of RAM and an Intel Q9400 Quad Core CPU. The DVD/CD optical drive is a Pioneer DVR-218L.

    Here's the problem - after two fresh installs, Windows 7 drops the DVD/CD drive and I get the following error in Device Manager (The device cannot start {code 10}). After the install, the drive works for a period of time, then stops working and I get the error code.

    The driver appears to be a standard Windows driver (CD-ROM driver).

    I've tried uninstalling the drive and re-installing it in Device Manager but it does not work - I continue to get the device error.

    I've also swapped out the DVD/CD drive to insure it's not a bad unit. Same problem with both drives.

    What do you suggest for next steps?? Could it be an issue with the motherboard?? A driver problem?

    I visited the Pioneer web site - could not find any help or additional Windows 7 drivers.

    What now??

    How to fix I/O errors with DVD drive in windows 10?

    CD drive error

    1) Close all open programs
    2) Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and press Enter
    3) Click on the plus signs (+) next to the following folders

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    SYSTEM
    CurrentControlSet
    Control
    Class
    {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    4) This folder is the DVD/CD-ROM Drive Class Description in the registry. Look for any of the following names in the right hand column.

    UpperFilters
    LowerFilters
    UpperFilters.bak
    LowerFilters.bak
    5) If any of the above keys shown in step 4 are listed, right-click on them and choose Delete
    6) After deleting the keys, close the Registry Editor
    7) Reboot your computer
    8) Open My Computer and check to see if your CD or DVD drives have returned. You may also want to open Device Manager and verify that the yellow exclamation and error code on the CD or DVD drive is gone.

    And it likely has something to do with the emulated drive you have listed there.
