I/o Device Error Internal Hard Drive
The best answers are voted up and rise to the top Cannot initialise HDD keep getting I/O Error…? up vote 1 down vote favorite I'm in a very odd situation that I think the HDD is toast... but I need a second opinion http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/initializing-hard-drive-error-an-io-device-error/2ad0a103-17d4-4e57-9e5e-f95470b4ae33 because I've tried just about everything I know and it will not kick into life. that makes matters even worse. The BIOS shows the channel and port and detects the HDD. DiskPart can see the HDD as well and I run a quick format which was successful...? This is where I get lost. If DiskPart can see the HDD and you can format the HDD than, there is communication via data cable and PWR to the HDD is there otherwise you wouldn't be able to format the HDD http://superuser.com/questions/437255/cannot-initialise-hdd-keep-getting-i-o-error would you. There are things that I haven't tried yet... running Seatools in DOS such better for fault finding. changed the data cable and the PWR SATA cables.

Did you already check the SMART values of the HDD? –speakr Jun 15 '12 at 12:58 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted I'm pretty sure that you are going to comment back and apologize that you meant the opposite... but I'm going to quote you here... There are things that I haven't tried yet... running Seatools in DOS such better for fault finding. changed the data cable and the PWR SATA cables. So you are saying that you haven't tried changing the drive cabling yet? Your use of the past tense there, the period after the word "finding", and leaving out either "I have" or "I have not" before the word "changed" makes it a bit ambiguous. I'm not being a grammar cop here. More often than you would believe, people will do exactly what you did there, but then come back to explain that they were saying that they DID change the cables... which contradicts putting it in a paragraph all it's own that starts with "things I haven't tried". I'm just asking for clarification. Don't shoot me. At any rate, if you know you should change the cables but haven't done so yet

Recently, it has started showing errors and I really need to recover the data. The laptop gives the sound notification when I plug it in, and also the "remove device safely" option gets enabled. But the drive does not get displayed on My Computer. I checked the device manager, and the hard disk is shown The disk management shows the hard disk 1 as unknown and not initialized. I tried initializing it, but it shows I/O device failure. Please help, as I really need to recover the data available on the hard disk before I format or ask for a replacement. Various data recovery software have been tried unsuccessfully (Ease US Data Recovery, Recuva, PC Inspector, Stellar Phoenix, Yodot Hard Drive Recovery, iCare Data Recovery) See more Hard disk not initialized i/o error I/o Device error wd 1 tb external hard disk My external sata hard disk shows in not initialized HELP my western digital is not recognized [Solved] (Solved) Western Digital Passport Hard drive not detected Western Digital 1TB External Hard Drive Not Recognized by PC (Solved) Wd hard disk not detected WD My passport external hard disk not detecting on computers Helpful +5 Report Ambucias 32202Posts Monday February 1, 2010Registration date ModeratorStatus October 3, 2016 Last seen Aug 10, 2014 06:47AM I suggest that you may find this Kioskea How-to very helpful: http://ccm.net/faq/26351-western-digital-hard-disk-not-being-detected View all 8 comments Report cc- Jan 2, 2016 11:
