"An unexpted I/O error has occured"


that was about 90% thru the format...


F C .....

ok... just to clarify: when you booted from the XP cd & chose to setup & chose to format you got an error like this:

"well i couldnt delete the partition while i was installing XP, because the setup needs that to continue to install"

can you try again & copy an exact error message? you really should be able to format off that disk.

I will look up your floppy error.

Also if the CD wont format see if you can format from my computer: quick format.

k i will do so... and i formatted the damn thing before too!!!!!!!

ok... you need to format the floppy first; quick format; and then create a MS_DOS startup disk

"An Unexpected I/O Error Has Occurred" Error Message When You Try to Create an MS-DOS Startup Disk

sorry for any confusion

k so heres the scoop

i have put in the pro disk restarted, and then it poped up i hit enter... and it asked me if i accepted the terms hit F8... well i never got this before so i found this out

i have 2 pros and one home... i will put in the other pro and tell u all about it ok?

ok...

also I found a download of Fdisk which is what that 10b @ michael stevens was refering to. It also requires making a boot floppy.

Free FDISK

aiight guess what

well i dont know.... i put in all three disks and seed what happened, and they all did the same thing; they all went to agree to terms, etc.....

but the last one didnt, it just caused me problems.....but now it works

i think it might be because of something i might have done in the setup earlier?


but anyhoo THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, and,

can we go to my thread " Sound CARD"?

i need help on it..

PS. THNX
