I have scanned my computer using multiple AS's and AV's. I have used AVG, Microsoft Security essentials, Ad Aware, CCleaner and Super Anti-Spyware. All threats that were detected were deleted. Even after all those scans and threat removals I still have the same problem. I have already run a sfc/scannow and it detected nothing. I did not run the cmd as Admin however. I will try to run it again as Admin when I get home. Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top BR0MER0 Posts: 6 This post has been reported.

Strangly, the drive used to read E, but now reads as G. I don't think this is entirely the cause of the problem though, because when I tried plugging this into other systems it read E, but still with the same I/O device error. I have Windows XP on an HP notebook, and I device error am clueless. I tried disabeling the device, re-enableing the device, uninstalling the device and reinstalling the device.
