Windows 10: How to Fix: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error

I have a external hard drive and whenever i open it it says The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error please help

:)

 

I/O device error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

I am currently using Windows 10 on my laptop, Asus A450L.

I tried to open my pendrive, but an error message came out, saying that "F is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

I was searching the Internet to find the solution of it and came across with a suggestion to perform a disk check. So, I open my Command Prompt and typed chkdsk F:/ f. The result came out as "Cannot open volume for direct access".

Please let me know how can I fix the I/O error.

Thank you.

 

I/O Device Error

Hey guys, i just put together a new case and upon trying to use a cd I found that i got an error:

"The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error"

I have a 250gb SATA II drive connected to the mobo by means of a SATA cable.
While my LG DVD Drive is connected to the mobo with an IDE Cable, the IDE cable has 3 ends (one to plug into the mobo, one for an IDE Hard drive and another for a CD Drive i presume)

Is the error being caused because both the hard drive and the DVD drive think they are the primary devices? If so how do i fix this?

Thanks *Toast :toast: ,

I/O Device Error on hpv236w 64gb USB

When I try to access my hpv236w 64gb USB, it gives me this error:'F:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.' I can't format it too. I tried many steps to fix this but they were useless.

How can I fix this?

This information maybe of some use:
I am able to access and recover files on the drive when i turn on write-protect.

Any help is appreciated.
