how can I fix it? Answer: The error message is caused from Windows trying to use a transfer mode that your CD/DVD drive cannot recognize. A more common error cd dvd drives for computers message that is seen when this issue arises is: "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

a new one anyway. It still doesn't work. Error message I get: "D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." I've called Toshiba (I'm out http://www.5starsupport.com/xp-faq/1-95.htm 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 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 http://www.ozzu.com/hardware/device-error-with-dvd-writable-drive-t64969.html 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 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?
