How to Fix External Hard Drive I/O Device Error in Windows 10?

[@itsmemaldy7071]

If i don t have the HDD initialized how i can use chdks ? Not have a letter

[@tokin420nchokin]

I think you can initialize from cmd but mines not responding to the chkdsk commands

[@BarazaGroup]

This video doesnt help solve the I/O error. It is just about recovering data. I was looking for a solution to fix the I/O.

I/o error is a bad hard drive, replace it or send it back if still under warranty.

Checked the hard drive in disk management. It's updated, it says it works perfectly but still doesn't work. I went into the next steps installed the app, I try to recover my data but it says that the disk was disconnected. I'm sure the cables are fine, I started getting these errors for my hard drive since reinstalling the windows..anybody can help?

[@princedmedia]

Nice video Michael.. Good explanation. But this video did not resolve my problem. I have a second Hard Disk for data backup which stopped showing up the volume size, but detected in the disk management. Says its unknown and not initialized disk. When i try to initialize it, it says, "cannot initialize disk due to an I/O error". I am unable to rebuild the MBR as well. It run on a Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 with 4 GB DDR RAM and a 1 TB main HDD. I tried using Disk partition softwares, but no software shows the DISK except the running one. I`m unable to resolve this through the disk management process as it says there is an I/O error. Is there a way to solve this problem and help me get back my hard disk working and try to recover the partitions and data ?

Alright I’m getting that error for my internal hard drive, it happened after my pc crashed and when I opened it back up, disk 0 wasn’t there, I tried initializing it or clicking the offline button but it said “request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. I can’t initialize it and it says unknown right under the disk 0 in computer management under storage. So I can’t even restore anything because I didn’t have any restore points. I don’t know if I should uninstall it and then reinstall it if that’s possible. Please help, I had all my games and school stuff on that drive.

So I'm getting this error with 2 usb drives that I have and it's almost impossible to even get them to show up anywhere. I can plug them into any other computer and they show up immediately and I formatted them. Once I plug them back into my computer they don't work. Crazy thing is I can put another usb drive from a friend in and it comes up immediately and works just fine. It's just all very strange to me. None of these tips work and I've searched tirelessly on the internet. Any ideas?

[@tusike]

My case is peculiar - the device is inaccessible in file explorer, unformattable, its partitions not readable by software and the only time I can interact with it is in 'device manager' and (sometimes) through disk management. None of the tips in this video managed to fix it. Any idea what else I can do?

Ok. So here's my problem I was having issues with errors on my HDD windows 10. Thankfully i made a recovery drive using a usb stick. I got a bunch of bad block errors so i did a chkdsk fix repair. Upon reboot i got a bsod ntfs error that kept happening everytime it rebooted. Ive tried numerous things. I used the usb recovery to get into recovery mode. Startup repair failed. I tried toreinstall windows via the recover from a drive that failed 3 times intil now even though i can see my hdd in bios if i try to boot manually i get an error that no drive is detected. I got the advice tondo the bootrec commands from command prompt that is FixMbr FixBoot ScanOs and Rebuildbcd. It successfully did fixmbr. I got an error fixboot access denied.

[@BeastmodeBeats]

Here’s what you need to do, go to the advanced power settings and increase the amount of time set for your hard drive to shut down, what’s happening is the backup is taking so long that the hard drive is shutting down during the backup process because the computer is not in use.

I have an io error on my hard disc and my graphics card won’t update either it’s stuck on installing. Are these connected I can’t figure out the problem.

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! The I/O error on your hard disk suggests problems with reading or writing data, which can be due to a faulty hard disk drive, cable/connection issues, or software conflicts. To address it, ensure secure cable connections, run disk checking utilities, and consider hardware replacement if necessary. Regarding the graphics card update, it could be caused by incompatible drivers, software conflicts, or interruptions during installation. Troubleshooting steps involve restarting your computer, using correct and latest drivers, temporarily disabling antivirus/firewall software, checking for system updates, reinstalling drivers, or contacting manufacturer support for potential hardware issues.

[@vishwankvrai]

still it shows the same error when i initial my external disk from disk management where it shows "unknown" "not initialized"

[@vinayjain7274]

I have a sdhc(luxor) card, 4gb, and its giving me i/o error, chkdsk and updating driver didnt help, any other solution ?

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! you can try using a different card reader to see if the issue is with the reader. If that doesn't work you can try formatting the card, but note that this will erase all data on the card. If the card still does not work after formatting, it may be a physical issue with the card and you may need to replace it.

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! I would definitely recommend trying that and seeing if it might be a connection issue or an issue with the drive itself.

[@theicekingkobe]

Hello, thanks for the video. I'm having this problem with an external ssd. I've connected the ssd to my other laptop and it works just fine while transferring files. I've connected the ssd to the laptop to where I originally had a problem with its usb type A port, but connected it to a usb port type c and it worked just fine. Then I tried the same thing with a thumb drive and had the same i/o error on the same usb A port while transferring files. So I deduce by your video that it is the usb A port. I tried doing the updating "USB Mass Storage Device" but that's not showing up in my computer while it even connected to my laptop. btw the laptop does indeed detect the external ssd, it just stops file transfers while connected to that specific usb A port. Does anyone know what else I should try?

[@guerraldo]

This problem is often referred to the incompatibility of these sata usb cables, the chinese cables have this fault that disconnects in the middle of the transfer, the recommended sata usb cables are with genesis sata bridge chip, these work well with intel chipset on x79 x99 boards between others

[@koriandrexile2485]

You can't run chkdsk without having a drive letter on the drive...did we just overlook this completely? Beyond simply "get a new cable" as this video describes, does anyone any any other possible solutions.

[@KuromiDarklord]

I am having this issue with an internal SSD but it has no volume letter assigned to it since there is no way to mount it and none of this steps fix it since I can not select any volume of it since its not initialize.

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! Try opening Disk Management and locate the SSD in the list of drives. If it is not visible, try refreshing the list by clicking on “Action” and selecting “Rescan Disks”. If the SSD is listed but has no partitions, right-click on the unallocated space and select “New Simple Volume”. Follow the prompts to create a new partition and assign a drive letter. If the SSD is still not recognized by Windows, try updating the drivers for your storage controller. If none of these steps work, it’s possible that the SSD is faulty and needs to be replaced.

[@justrean]

Nothing works. The driver is updated, Command Prompts says 'cannot read volume access' or something, all partitions apps just straight up crashed or not responding or stuck on scanning. I've tried plugging and unplugging the cable from the motherboard, nothing. I'm frustrated at this point.

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! Try restarting your pc to see if that solves the issue if not try reseat the cables connecting your external drive to your computer. Do this at both ends. If you’re using a USB flash drive, try disconnecting and reinserting, then trying again. If it doesn’t work, use a different USB cable, and try again. Connect the cable to a different external device and connect it to your system. Press Windows Key + X to open the Quick Access menu, then select Command Prompt (admin). Next, type chkdsk /f /r /x [your drive letter here] and press Enter. The scan could take a while, especially if there are many sectors requiring repair.

As I am a man of experimentation I did this several times to see if the drive would eventually work. Nope, every time it crashes the system. Have you ever heard of this?

Hi there, thank you for you question. If your pen drive has write protection, you can follow these steps to fix it: 1. Check the physical switch: Some pen drives have a physical switch that enables write protection. Make sure that the switch is in the "unlocked" position. 2. Check the registry settings: You can check if your pen drive's write protection has been enabled in the registry settings. To do this, press the Windows key + R, type "regedit" and press Enter. 3. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies 4. If the "WriteProtect" value is set to "1", double-click on it and change the value to "0". 5. If the "WriteProtect" value is not present, right-click on an empty space in the right pane, select "New" and then "DWORD Value". Name it "WriteProtect" and set the value to "0". 6. Save the changes and close the Registry Editor. 7. Use diskpart command: Open a Command Prompt window as an administrator and type "diskpart" to enter the diskpart utility. 8. Type "list disk" to view a list of all connected storage devices. 9. Type "select disk X" (replace "X" with the number of your pen drive). 10. Type "attributes disk clear readonly" to clear the write protection attribute. 11. Close the Command Prompt window and check if you can now write to the pen drive. If none of the above methods work, it's possible that your pen drive has a hardware issue and needs to be replaced.

can u help me please, my name is joel from India, my usb drive showing, name is CCCOMS_X64F current read only status is YES, read only status is NO they are 2 volume, one volume is is normal & another volume is ntfs_ueif volume space UNDEFINED please help to restore my usb

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! It seems like your USB might be in a read-only state, which means you cannot modify or delete the data on it. First check if your USB drive has a physical switch that can lock or unlock the write protection. Try opening the Command Prompt and typing the following commands: "diskpart", "list disk" "select disk #" (replace # with the number of your USB drive), "attributes disk clear readonly", exit.
