Hi,

Within the last few days (infact since fitting a 3rd hard drive) my
DVD-RW has been coming up with the following message: "The request
could not be performed because of an I/O device error" every time I try
to drag and drop anything from the drive to a hard drive. I get a
similar message when using any program that gets files from a disc to a
hard drive as well. The discs are fine because I have been forced to
get the files to this computer from my laptop.
BTW when I fitted the new hard drive I disconnected my other CD-RW
because of a lack of Molex plugs if that is any use.

TIA,

Sebastian
