I found this website and openboard by typing in my problem on google, and i saw that sometime last year someone really found some solid help with fixing their dvd drive. I have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop that i bought in 2003, and for the past 6 months have had extreme difficulty with my DVD drive. It won't read any CD's or DVD's at all and keeps saying that the "request could not be performed due to I/O device error." Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I was reading that someone else was able to fix it by doing something called "regenit" in the "run" folder. I'm an aid worker in Pakistan and in desperate need of help as my work depends on this drive. Thanks. Mar 13, 2006 #1 ovvn.you TS Rookie Posts: 98 did my best to find your fix man, hope it works 1. Go to Start 2. Right click My Computer 3. Select Manage from the resulting menu 4. In the Computer Management window, select Device Manager 5. In the right pane, click to expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers 6. Identify your CD/DVD drive in the expanded menu and right click the appropriate drive 7. Select Properties 8. In the Properties windows, click the Advanced Settings tab 9. In the Transfer Mode box that represents your CD/DVD drive (typically Device 1), open the drop down menu and select PIO Only 10. Click OK and exit all windows. If this does not resolve your issue, then you will need to go back using the above procedure and change the Device 1 in step #9 back to "DMA if available". Then, change Device 0 to "PIO Only" in the Transfer Mode box. Device 0: Primary IDE Channel Device 1: Secondary IDE Channel Mar 14, 2006 #2 howard_hopkinso TS
Question: When trying to install software using my DVD-Drive, I insert the disk in to the drive and it just spins and does nothing else. I then get an error message: "Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed." What could be causing this and 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 http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/need-assistance-in-fixing-i-o-device-error-with-dvd-drive.45984/ message that is seen when this issue arises is: "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." However, both error messages yield the same solution. To resolve this issue, you will need to change the transfer mode in your IDE channel properties. Here's how: Go to Start Right click My Computer Select Manage from the http://www.5starsupport.com/xp-faq/1-95.htm resulting menu In the Computer Management window, select Device Manager In the right pane, click to expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers Identify your CD/DVD drive in the expanded menu and right click the appropriate drive Select Properties In the Properties windows, click the Advanced Settings tab In the Transfer Mode box that represents your CD/DVD drive (typically Device 1), open the drop down menu and select PIO Only Click OK and exit all windows.

Common causes of the error include faulty hardware, a loose connection between the hardware and computer, outdated hardware drivers, or the IDE channel i/o error 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 i/o error cd 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.

I have used your advice constantly. I am glad to say that I have a lot less spyware on my computer thanks entirely to you. Now to cut to the straight of it. Any CDs or DVDs cannot be read by my D Drive. I have tried all kinds of CDs and DVDs (burned, orginal, et cetera). The exact message is: "D:\ is not accessible The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." I have already tried chkdsk. I have already tried what Windows recommended, which is as follows: Manage "My Computer" Device Manager Expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers Select Properties of Primary IDE Channel Advance Settings Change Transfer mode to PIO only When that did not work, I changed all the devices for both Primary and Secondary IDE Channel to PIO only. The problem continued. My D Drive is a Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-811, with an updated driver. This is an internal drive purchased along with my Toshiba Satellite laptop. So any advice would be appreciated. Also, Happy Thanksgiving.

It looks as though this is a built in hardware problem. Take a look at this http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=99194 . Hope you can get some satisfaction from the manufacturer.

I had been assuming it had something to do with my system files or driver and not the actual hardware. I will try the advice listed on the link, but it looks like I just need to send my computer in. Thank you for saving me the money of buying an external drive. I will
