Hi Guys,

I have a problem with one of my western digital hard drives.

I can access the files on the drive but i cant write.

ive seen an I/O device error and hoping someone can help me out with it.

Thx

It is likely that due to the I/O error, that the system marked it as read-only. The best thing to do is to backup all the data, then run diagnostics on the drive (download from the manufacturer) and see if the drive has completely failed such that it is no longer usable.

Ive done the western digital extended S.M.A.R.T diagnostic on the W.D app and it says no problems-working and also tried a few youtube fixes.

 

If i try to move a file to the drive it goes up to about 98% and just stops then makes the pc sort of freeze

 

I can copy stuff off the HD but i dont have the space to back it up...its like 3.11TB of movies and tv shows.
