I/O device error internal hardrive

My internal hardrive partitioned as c:\ D:\ will not allow me to access the D:\

If i try to access an error pops up "D:\ is not accessible The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error

Any ideas appreciated as to what I can do,

thanks

You should provide a bit more information for ppl to be able to help you.

Have you done something to your HDD, did it work properly before butnot after doing something, did you just installed it , ........

right know form what you wrote i think perhaps a calbe problem. but you should deffo write some more info

bye

Yep, sorry,


Occasionally this Amari comp dual 1gz 1 gig of ram memory dumps.
(win2000 prof)

This time after the memory dump the D:\ has become un - accessable.

I can reboot the computer but only access C:\

I wondered if its possible to get data off the D:\ somehow

Just checking make etc of the hardrive now.....

The only info on the hardrive available to me via Device manager is serial number IC 35 L 060 AVER 07-0


The other thing is windows loads a default profile now as my profile is corrupt. Also keeps prompting me to reinstall mouse drivers.

is that enough info ?

Try accessing D:\ from safe mode or via DOS and the command line :

cd d:\

See if that works, if you can access D:\ delete it all or try formatting the partition.
