request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

Dev1ANT · July 10, 2008

I'm having some major burn problems with my brand new Optiarc AD-7200S DVD-RW/DL/RAM drive. I'm running Vista x86 on an Asus P5N32-E SLI mobo with Intel Core 2 Quad 6600 Go Stepping @2.4GHZ/core, 4GB corsair RAM.

I successfully burned a data CD using Vista's own drag/drop system. But then I was having problems burning any audio, receiving a "SCSI command aborted" error constantly in Nero 8. I don't understand much about SCSI. I tried a fix from someone having the same problem of updating my nForce drivers, then also updating the nero ASPI driver, and eventually even removing my SCSI drivers completely. None of these ideas made any difference, I got the exact same errors. After trying to write an Audio CD from a CUE file in ImgBurn, I get the "request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." message, here's the log:

And after I finish writing a Data CD full of MP3s, the verification fails, also due to an "I/O error". Log attached.

In case it's of any relevance, I've tried reading lots of CDs and DVDs, and they all work fine.

I have NEVER had a coaster before with the CD media I'm using. Not even with really really poor writer drives. Also as the drive is brand new, completely undamaged, and barely used, I don't see how it can be the device's problem. So I figure it must be a problem with my drivers/system.

Thanks in advance!

Do you need your controller to be in RAID mode?

Optical drives work best (only work!) when it's in the standard ATA mode - or sometimes if you're lucky, AHCI mode.

If all else fails, get yourself a Silicon Image 3512 PCI controller card and put the drive on that.

Thanks for your swift response!

Do you need your controller to be in RAID mode?

I don't think so. I certainly didn't mean to put it in RAID mode. Any idea how I can change that?

It'll be an option in the bios I expect. (Press F1, F2, DEL etc when the machine is first turned on - it'll probably tell you which)

It's probably a good idea to check for bios updates for the board too and install the latest (if one is available).

Dev1ANT · July 11, 2008

RAID option was in my BIOS, but it was disabled outright.

I think the reason it's now in RAID mode is because I tried uninstalling my Microsoft SCSI drivers in device manager. When I click "Scan for hardware changes", the SCSI device doesn't appear like most hardware does. Perhaps i should try reinstalling that SCSI device with a newer driver, but I'm not sure how. The newest nForce drivers didn't do the trick, which is where I assumed you should get SCSI drivers.

Do you know how I can get my SCSI device back/any other ideas before I flash my BIOS anyway?
