[Jon Nelson]

Every time i try to load up my usb drive it gives me a 'request failed becasue of I/0 device error.' what does this mean and how do i fix it? it's a San Disk cruzer mini is that helps.

Do other USB devices work on that port?

[Jon Nelson]

yes

[Maragtas]

Did you read the instruction manual?  Some USB devices want  their drivers installed first before you plug it in and if you plug  the device in w/o the driver, it'll give you problems.  I had a USB printer that did that to me.  

[Jon Nelson]

no, it has worked before, but all of a sudden it won't work

[Kablam]

did you have anything else installed in that port? have you tried a different one? was it originally in a different one. I have a webcam that only likes to use the front bottom USB

[Jon Nelson]

i've never tried another usb drive in that port. i know its not the usb drive because it works on other computers. i don't know if anything else has been installed in that port, do you know of any way that i could check? and would uninstalling it solve my problem?
