p i/o error

[Frickalik]

I have the following system *below.* Im running Widows Professional with all of my drivers successfully installed.

The problem i have is that when i try to copy a file larger than 100 MB from my DVD rom drive i get the error "Could not copy file **** because of I/0 device error."

I tryed the FIX of going into hardware, IDE/Atapi driver and setting my Primary IDE source to PIO mode in Device 0 and Visa Versa. It didnt fix anything.

Also when i go into BIOS the Primary IDE Driver does not recognise anything to be there but my "THird IDE" detects my harddrive......

So any ideas to fix the problem....

Is DMA (direct memory access) inabled? This would be under the driver properties, under divice manager, in system in the control panel (or just properties when right-clicking My Computer)
Have you tested your ram with memtest?

[Frickalik]

i had PIO enabled with Primary Device 1 "PIO only" then Device 0 being "DMA when avaiable" I tryed every possiblitly but i have not tested my Ram yet....ill respond back at 10 o clock with my results.

ok the problem definetly is not related to the Ram.But im pretty sure that my BIOS and its IDE configuration is just messed up. The BIOS doesnt need to be flashed but tweaked a lil bit.....bah im lazy.

Its sounding like a OS error.. possibly a hardware confilict (IRQ or mem addressing) or driver related.. and yes bios on the board is a possiblity.

hmmm i dunno what to tell ya fricke :beer: but this is about the best place to get some help!

only suggestion i have is to flash to the latest bios, and if that doesnt help go into the device manager

click the + on

"IDE ATA/ATAPI controlers"

then right click on the primary channel > advanced settings > then put the transfer mode to DMA... if this doesnt work report back i may have one more thing you can do.

how is your system setup? what drive controler is the DVD drive on? is it plugged into the blue IDE port or the black one on the p5w dh...

[greenmaji]

Only thing not said directly is updating or redownloading and installing the driver. And checking for a hardware confilict error in divice manager (in safe mode would be more dependable)

Ben, im pretty sure i know where to plug in my ****ing CD drive hahahaha. Its in the blue one drrrr. For some****ing reason the bios was seeing my CD drive as an atapi Cd drive and a sony dvd drive. So i unistalled the ATAPI one and when i messed around with the PCI options in my bios(bios is latest version) my bios recognized the DVD drive as the primary IDE. wooo. thanks

Ben....your such a noob. haha jk <333
