i am trying to install a new game on my computer but about a min. after it started to DL the game it says it cant be done because of an I/O device error. I have installed a different game a few days ago but this one wont work. I resently reinstalled everything on my computer(formated hard drive) and everthing seems to work fine exept this game.
if i go to expand IDE ATA/ATAPI my cd and dvd drive dont show up. If that has ne thing to do with it.
As the game starts do DL i can here the dvd drive speed up, then it beeps, and the hit slows back down. It repeats this process until the error pops up.

1. Go to Start
2. Right click My Computer
3. Select Manage from the resulting menu
4. In the Computer Management window, select Device Manager
5. In the right pane, click to expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
6. Identify your CD/DVD drive in the expanded menu and right click the appropriate drive
7. Select Properties
8. In the Properties windows, click the Advanced Settings tab
9. In the Transfer Mode box that represents your CD/DVD drive (typically Device 1), open the drop down menu and select PIO Only
10. Click OK and exit all windows.
If this does not resolve your issue, then you will need to go back using the above procedure and change the Device 1 in step #9 back to “DMA if available”. Then, change Device 0 to “PIO Only” in the Transfer Mode box.
