Error code: 0x8007045D.

Question

When I attempt to burn an image file to a DVD, I get the titled error code message.

I attempted the "CHKDSK /R D:"

It appeared the drive is just cycling, has been running for more than 20 minutes now.

Answer 1

Hi,

• Which program are you using to burn the DVD?

Error 0x8007045d is "ERROR_IO_DEVICE" - "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

This can happen if the following conditions are true:

• The brand of the disc may be incompatible with the burner. Try a different brand of disc.

• The disc may be defective. Use another disc.

• The burner may have malfunctioned. For troubleshooting information, see the documentation that was included with the burner.  Or, update it with the latest firmware from the manufacturer’s website.

• The burner or the disc may not support the speed that you used to burn the disk. Try using a slower speed.

I am having the same problem now. I am trying to copy some Raw images which are more than 8 mb in size from C drive to back drive like G: or some external drive. But it doesn't happen.

Ultimately I am getting this error code 0x8007045D, unknown IO error.

Any help.

This is a known issue with the OS that has been reported hundreds of times. Apparently Microsoft  is not going to fix it. I had the same problem on two different Win 7 machines, using two different USB external drives. The easiest solution is to download the free Macrium Reflex backup program. You can create a system image on an external usb drive and also a boot cd. Worked the first time for me after I spent hours trying every suggested fix on the internet for the Microsoft problem.
