E:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

I am running XP on a Toshiba Satellite 2430 with a Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-810 Drive. Drive was working fine for several months. I now can play a DVD but not a CD Rom or Audio CD. There isn't an option covered for this in XP Troubleshooting. Every other combination. Have tried rollback, uninstall of driver, autoplay & record options with no joy. Been searching forums for weeks. Can't even run a recovery disk. Anyone encountered this problem with a solution would be greatly apreciated.

I have the same problem with my toshiba Satelite 5205, did n e one ever find a solution? a year later.

What exactly is your problem?

Is this the exact error message:

E:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

What do you do that brings it up?

Did this just start happening?

Were things OK before?

that is the exact message
It jsut started up again, i had it fixed once, the read light always stays on and the message comes up if a put a disc in and try to explore it with windows explorer
when checking the drivers and such it says everything is ok and working properly, i have nothing to roll back to or update to

I also poped the drive out and checked the pins on both male n female parts and all pins and receptors are in order and undamaged.

b.u.m.p.

Have you checked the possibilities in these links?

Also: What is the make & model of your drive?

Also have you removed the drive: rebooted without it: reinstalled it?

If the light is on constant or is blinking with no disk it could quite well be the IDE controller. Check the Device Manager for your secondary IDE Channel & any issues.

Hi Everyone,

I am having the same problem that has be listed above. I have a Toshiba Satellite A50 series laptop with a Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-920S. The device manager says that it is working properly. Can anyone offer any advice??

Thanks alot
