PartedMagic is no longer free Hard drives larger than 500GB have become commonplace TestDisk has become even better Many many many comments from people have been posted that show common problems that are not directly addressed by the original post. So with all of that in http://html5.litten.com/updated-how-to-fix-external-disk-drive-suddenly-became-raw/ mind, here is a revised version that hopefully addresses some of the shortomings of the post that was originally released in January of 2013.

mode that the operating system is attempting to use for the operation may not be recognized. The I/O error may be experienced with various media storage devices such as: external hard drives, DVD or CDs, DVD or CD drives, SD cards, or USB sticks/drives. Common causes of the error include faulty hardware, a loose connection between the hardware and computer, outdated hardware drivers, or the IDE channel properties require modification. What Are the Common I/O Device Error Messages? Unfortunately, the I/O device error can generated more than one error message. Some of the most commonly encountered messages associated with the error include: - The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error - Only part of a readprocessmemory request was completed - Only part of a writeprocessmemory request was completed Windows may display a “Windows error code” along with the plain language error message. The I/O device error codes that are associated with the error include: error 6, error 21, error 103, error 105, and error 131. Why Does the I/O Device Error Occur? There are a number of potential causes for I/O device errors on computers that run the Windows Operating System (OS). These include: - Outdated or corrupt driver installation for the affected hardware device. - Windows using an incompatible transfer mode for the hardware. - Faulty or loose connection with the hardware. - The portable media (CD, DVD, or SD card) is damaged or excessively dirty. Basic I/O Device Error Troubleshooting Before throwing away a “faulty” CD/DVD, or delving into more complex troubleshooting, there are some basic steps computer users can attempt to clear the I/O device error. If the steps do not solve the issue, they may help pinpoint what is causing the error to be thrown and save time in fixing the issue. Step 1 – Restart the computer that is throwing the I/O device error. Step 2 – Attempt to access the disk, drive, or portable media again. Step 3 – If the error is still being thrown, try to access the disk on another computer (if available). This will help identify if the error is with the drive, IDE channel, or media (disk) itself. Step 4 – If the disk/media opens on the alternative computer, there is an issue with the primary PC (drive, IDE, or connection). If it does not, there could be a problem with the media itself or IDE channel. If you do not have another computer available a
