I experienced a few times when I try to copy files from thumbdrive or CD/DVD there is an error saying that cannot copy file because of the I/O device error. What is I/O device error actually? The Windows error “I/O Device Error” means there is an error in the computer’s ability to read data when you try to install a program or to copy data from your CD or DVD drive.

This issue is likely to occur when Windows tries to use a transfer mode that your CD drive cannot use or does not recognize. To resolve this issue, you will need to change the transfer mode in your IDE channel properties.
