• We get an error "D: / is not accessible." a device i/o error"when trying to access hard drive

  * Original title: e/s problem

  I am not able to access my hard disk.windows that says: -.

  "D: / is not accessible." an i/o device error. "

  I also tried chkdsk but it says that it is not directly operatable.

  Hi Rishanpc,

  Thanks for the post. I am sorry to hear that you found a mistake "D: / is not accessible." a device i/o error"when trying to access hard drive.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this.

   

   

  To help you suggest several steps to solve the problem, I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions:

  1. have you checked if the cables are connected properly?

  2 what is an internal hard drive or external?

  3 have there been recent changes made on the computer before the show?

   

  The most common cause of a non-accessible i/o error is a disconnected cable. When the computer tries to access a device, and it's no response after several tests, it will generate this error. Another common cause is when a program tries to access a file that has been removed or eliminated.

   

  Disconnected Hard Drive/cable misconfiguration

   

  Internal hard drives require a specific set up. IDE hard disks can have only one master. If another hard drive has its defining together correctly pin code, a user is perhaps not able to access the data, and he will receive a message that the drive are not available. Cables come off inside the case of the computer also cause a not accessible i/o error. The user can correct this problem by opening the case and attach the data cables for each drive safely at the back of each drive and the motherboard.

   

  You can follow the steps below and check if it helps.

   

   

   

  a. go to "Control Panel" in the start menu and choose 'performance and Maintenance '.

  b. click on 'System' then go to the Hardware tab and click on "Device Manager."

  c. find the device that records an error by developing the appropriate category nodes. If the device has a red "X" on the icon beside its description, the hardware is disabled; Go to step d to activate it. Otherwise, go to step e.

  d. go to the general tab and click on "Activate the device" found in the device status section. then press 'OK '. (Note: you may need to follow the guests, as indicated via an assistant of favorable device.) If you do, continue to click "Next" and follow the instructions until the process is complete.) Test the equipment. If an error is displayed, go to step e.

  e. click the general tab and click "Troubleshooting" found in the device status section and then press 'OK '. Follow the prompts to fix the problem. If an error is still displayed, go to step f.

  f. click the driver tab and click on 'Update driver'. Follow the instructions until the process is complete and then to test the equipment.

• KB3035583 failed - cannot access control panel or turn off PC

  Because today, I'm not able to access control panel or turn off my PC Windows8.

  I checked the software updates, and I see that the KB3035583 update failed last night. If windows 10 update I don't want installed nor am I eligible for it. However, this update failed meant now I can not access PC settings, control panel or turn off my PC. Also I am not able to run any command as an administrator because it tells me that I don't have that even if I am sure that this feature is enabled, and it's my PC denied access. I also tried restore but even that does not work.

  Advice please?

  Refresh your PC goes like this:

  • Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
  • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
  • Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.

• Cannot access control panel or Windows updates and not more sound

  Yesterday, I restarted my computer and a message keeps popping up that I am victim of software counterfeiting (in reference to Microsoft Windows) when I bought the computer at Future Shop just a year ago. Also, now there is a red X on the speaker icon in the corner and said "no audio output device is installed". I followed the instructions mentioned in another post, as well as other Web sites, and nothing seems them works. Above everything else, I can not access the control panel. It appears and disappears immediately. If this were not already enough, Windows Update does not work or the other. The icon is there, but whenever I click on it, nothing happens.
  I only bought the computer a year ago, and there is already a long list of problems with it. I'm at the end of my rope! If someone is brave enough to tackle these problems, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

• Cannot access control panel

  Hello

  I'm trying to access the control panel and whenever I try to access the control panel it comes up with an error that Windows Explorer has stopped working and said then that reset Windows Explorer.  I stopped and restarted and that did not help.

  An error in ntdll indicates that something has corrupted once you fixed with SFC. You need to an antivirus and anti-spyware software to help you. You must restore the backup system, if available.

• Administrator account is disabled - system 5 error when trying to access

  So I created a user account with administrator rights because I had problems with other accounts of user download of malware and viruses on my computer.  Unfortunately, I've changed the password one night when I was very tired and now draws a complete blank on what it might be.  Time has passed and I have tried everything I can think enough to know that I'm up a Creek trying to remember this password.  After that some searching around, I learned to start safe mode to access the hidden administrator account, which does NOT produce the hidden administrator account.  Then I read about access to the cmd as administrator, but that doesn't work either because he asks me the password I don't remember.  If I try to run cmd with "net users administrator / Active: Yes", receives a message indicating "system error 5 has occurred, access denied.  Same thing if I try to enter "net user *", and then click the password twice to clear it.  I know that I have set up with administrator access the user account is different than construction administrator b/c if I go 'lusrmgr.msc' in the search/run box on the start menu, then clicking on 'users' I can see that they are two separate accounts.  When I click with the right button on the built in Admin and select Properties, it shows a check in the box "account is disabled".  If I uncheck this box, I gives me the error message "access denied."  If I try to go the other route and check the "account is disabled" on the user account that I set up with administrator access, I gives me the same error.  If I try to delete the setting of administrator group of the user account that I set up with administrator access I'm access denied once again.  All this is considered... other ideas or tips? I read somewhere that apparently since I created a user to have admin access, hidden admin is disabled by windows automatically for safety.  I really hope this isn't the case!  I'm very hesitant to use a tool to reset password to a third party if I have to, but I'm running out of options and it's been months.  I appreciate any help, tips, reviews, etc.  Thank you!

  You cannot administer a computer unless you are an administrator.

  The built-in account is disabled if there is another admin account.

  There is no way around it, or it would not be safe.

  Don't forget the computers are not safe during execution.

  MS sites will not discuss hacking password.

• I have a laptop on vista home-use. When you look in Control Panel - be uninstall, should there be several entries for SQL server, or one or none?

  I have a laptop on vista home-use.  When you look in the control panel - and then to uninstall, should there be several entries for SQL server, or one or none?  Each entry seems to have a different digital denotation, but apparently I should have only one entry maximum.

  The reason that I ask is that I have had problems in the software.  I want to uninstall everything that is not supposed to be there.

  Some lines of programs listed show information... some lines are completed.

  When you click on a line that is complete, I am allowed the usuall to uninstall, options etc.

  When you click on a line that is not complete, I'm not allowed the option uninstall.

  The Compact Edition and the full SQL Server can be installed at the same time without any problems. I saw SQL Server2005 apparently installed by a manufacturer, perhaps to support some software they have grouped in. He could have an Acer.

  I do not know what cause the problem with the uninstall option is not available. Information to fill in these fields are in the registry.

  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall if you want to watch.

  It could be the result of a broken uninstall or a bad registry cleaner. I'm not aware of anything that would fix this. You can try this http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall

  but you may have to reinstall programs later.

  You need two redistributable Visual C++ if you have programs that need it, which is likely. They had several updates that fits into the list programs. I have two for 2005 and six for 2008.
