I've struggled with a similar problem before: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2277602/unable... 1/ Try to 'Safely Remove' the external drive and then reconnect it again, sometimes a simple reset can be the solution. 2/ The error might be because of the drivers on your computer. So I'd advice to try the HDD on another PC/laptop. 2/ Another thing I'd do is check if you have the latest firmware update of your external drive. If it is outdated, it can reflect the performance of your drive. 3/ Can you access the drive through Device and/or Disk Management? If yes, what is the information the tools show about the drive? 4/ Another thing you can try is to check the HDD through Windows' Command Prompt (run it as administrator), type chkdsk x: /r (where x: is the drive letter of your external drive), this will locate bad sectors and recover readable information. Keep me posted if any of the suggestions worked with you! Good luck! Share Can't find your answer

When I was creating device error partitions, I accidentally formatted it from NTFS to RAW. I tried to format it back to NTFS, but I got an error ("could not format"). I then tried to run chkdsk on it, but chkdsk doesn't work with RAW. So then I tried with DiskPart, but the same formatting error occurred ("the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error"). I don't care if I lose any data, I just want to get my disk back in a usable state. windows hard-drive o device error ntfs share|improve this question edited Dec 22 '12 at 13:09 asked Dec 21 '12 at 22:10 Hyztname 144118 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 5 down vote accepted Boot from a Linux LiveCD/USB and try GParted (or perhaps from GParted's own Debian-based LiveCD/USB). If that doesn't work, see if you can take the drive out of the case (obviously don't do it if it'll void the warranty) and directly attach it to a desktop so you can run GParted on it. On Gparted you'll have to "Create a new Partition Table" and then create any partition you'd like because it's going to format for it. If you still get I/O errors or GParted fails, use WinDFT and run an Extended/Thorough Test on the drive. If that passes, Erase the Disk and attempt to repartition: share|improve this answer edited Dec 22 '12 at 14:29 Marcks Thomas 4,85711333 answered Dec 21 '12 at 22:32 Karan 42.1k1073107 +1, GParted should be able to handle it. –neersighted Dec 21 '12 at 22:33 I've tried WinDTF before, it doesn't read any of them.

ProductsHomearound the homeproductivityHow to Fix an I/O Device ErrorHow to Fix an I/O Device ErrorBy Ron PriceI/O device errors are caused by minor issues, improper connections, obsolete device drivers or configuration errors. Fix by restarting or changing settings.Since an I/O device error occurs when the Windows OS is attempting to use a transfer mode that is not available or not recognized to or from an input, storage or output device -- such as external hard disk drives, DVDs and CDs, SD cards and USB devices -- the errors can often be fixed by updating a device driver. Sometimes, the cause is a fault in the hardware, connections, or configuration of a device, and a few basic troubleshooting steps can identify it in most cases.Step 1Close the Warning box by clicking on the OK button.Step 2Display the Charm bar by moving the mouse pointer to the the lower-right corner of the screen or on a touchscreen, swipe your finger in from the right edge of the screen. Click or tap on the Settings icon.Click or tap on the Power icon, which displays a two- or three-item menu. Click or tap on Restart.Step 3Redo the same actions or activities you were doing when the error first occurred. If the error doesn't reoccur, the issue is solved. Otherwise, continue on to the next step.Step 4Since device I/O errors are commonly caused by issues with external drives or peripherals, check the connection, usually a USB connection, and make sure it's correct and snug. If the connection doesn't appear to be the issue, connect the external device to a different computer to see if the same error occurs. If so, the problem is with the device itself, the connecting cable or connector, or perhaps in the device driver.TipIf a Device I/O Error involves a DVD, CD-ROM or other type of removable media, the problem may be the medium itself. You should also verify the medium elsewhere, just to be sure it isn't the cause of the error.Step 5Another common error, especially on devices just installed or attached to a computer, is the DMA or PIO settings. Check the documentation for the device you suspect is causing the problem to verify what its transfer mode settings
