In the Computer Management window, select Device Manager 5. In the right pane, click to expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers 6. Identify your CD/DVD drive in the expanded menu and right click the appropriate drive 7. Select Properties 8. In the Properties windows, click the Advanced Settings tab 9. In the Transfer Mode box that represents your CD/DVD drive (typically Device 1), open the drop down menu and select PIO Only 10. Click OK and exit all windows. If this does not resolve your issue, then you will need to go back using the above procedure and change the Device 1 in step #9 back to "DMA if available". Then, change Device 0 to "PIO Only" in the Transfer Mode box.

I/o Device Error Windows 8
called Toshiba (I'm out of warranty) and they did not know what to do. They referred me to a service center who said they'd have to configure some stuff probably but it would take three weeks before they'd get to me. I'm http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/need-assistance-in-fixing-i-o-device-error-with-dvd-drive.45984/ in the middle of a project so can't be w/o laptop for 3 weeks. I tried setting up an appointment in three weeks, but they wouldn't bit. I emailed Panasonic, but they said they are one of several OEM providers for Toshiba's internal dvd drive. I researched Microsoft ... ect. It seems there are configurations that need to be done to the drive itself and supposedly, per Toshiba, I can't do them ... only an authorized dealer. I noticed that an unusal amount of people seem http://www.ozzu.com/hardware/device-error-with-dvd-writable-drive-t64969.html to have experienced my same problem. Anyone ever get a resolve on their own ... or should I just stop the research and take it to a dealer some months from now when I am able to be w/o my computer? Thanks much for any help on this one. iambigjae Born Posts: 1 3+ Months Ago Was wondering if you have solved this issue or if you had to have a dealer do the repair work?

It might cost less than paying a tech to install a new internal drive if you can't do it yourself. GeneralB Born Posts: 2 3+ Months Ago Nope ... never got it resolved. I do have external drive but am sorely missing my laptop dvd drive ... very inconvenient. Still searching for an answer. Haven't taken the expensive plunge of taking it in for a looksie. Let me know if you find a resolve. thecrwng7 Born Posts: 1 3+ Months Ago I came across this forum today, after realizing my cd dvd drive went stupid on me after burning a few cd's... (Toshiba Satellite) I was curious how much it would cost me to get this issue fixed, if anyone could give me an opinion of an estimate... I suppose I'll have to succumb to finding an external drive, but honestly that's such a

Open a cmd prompt in Elevated/Admin mode and type, sfc /scannow Allow it to run and see if it says whether or not files could be fixed. If still no go try.... 2. Full Anti-Virus scan AND Anti-Spyware scans. please also state what AV and AS you are using. Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top whs Posts: 17584 This post has been reported. There may be a problem with your HDD. Run this command: chkdsk c: /r If the partition from where you want to read has another letter than 'c', replace 'c' by that letter. But do not forget the colon.
