Hi Tazz,

open up the cmd prompt

I haven't had this happen with Win 7 so I'm not sure about that one

older version of windows select RUN from start menu and type cmd

from there type "chkdsk X: /f" no quotes and replace X with whatever drive it is.

It should perform a scan and once complete should work just like new!

iain.t :major

 

ok i did wat u said but theres sum kind of a massage after i did it in cmd.exe that pop up saying..
this massage is in the cmd thing
[some files allocation tables <FAT> are unwriteable.
what does this mean???

 

That is because the files have been saved in FAT and not as NTFS , can you access your SD card now and read the files and can you transfer files without the error.

 

i still can't transfer files... =[[ pls help me i need my files transferred tomorrow..=[[

 

As your drive has problems, you might want to try one of these recovery programs.

 

Hello,
From your previous thread on recovering the files from your card with powerdatarecovery. You were able to save all of the files to your hard drive, correct?

 

have you tested any other memory cards, in general the i/o error is either insuficient power or and read write error, if thats the case then you need to work out whats causing the problem, i

is it the memory card - test another one

is it built in to the machine - or if its external see if you can find another suitable cable to rule out the issue,

if it is external is it usb1.0 or 2.0 and is it plugged in to a usb 2.0 slot with the correct drivers installed

all the best
