I/O Problem with my external HD

I have an external Hard Drive (SimpleDrive near 1GB) that is having some issues.

On some files it is claiming an I/O error and when I try to move the files from the external HD to my computer the upload is so slow it just wont function.

The I/O issues seem to be related to a few PDF files that I scanned and I would love to have them but the bigger issue it the download speed and making sure other files moved over there do not have similar issues.

 

I/O (Input - Output Error) (the most possible is a physical hardware problem)

1. Check the USB cable to the external drive then try to save the files (use other cable if you can)

2. Connnect in a different USB port and try to save files.

If the problem still, i recommend to you use this to save those files:

You should save all data from that External Disk, format it and check if have any Phsycal errors.

Hiren's CD have some utilities to check HDD problems.


Good Luck, morti<
