Request Could Not Be Performed Because Of An I/o E
Request could not be performed because of an I/O error
Trying to get XP installed on a clean system for the last 20 hours, and I keep getting this error hal way through:

Related to this is:
SXS.dll error at D:\I386\asms\10\MSFT\WINDOWS\GDIPLUS\GDIPLUS.MAN on line 4.
I have searched about this error but the results are very general. Surprisingly a lot of people are having this problem. Any tips?

I am searching about this, it seems several people have problems with several dysfunctional parts such as the installation disk or the motherboard. Maybe is not your fault but a defected item?
I found this, let me know if is helpful:

This is really a 'try everything' kind of problem, for example on this page you will find that everyone has a different suggestion and everyone has something different that worked for them.
So far I have tried...
1. Changing around DVD Drives
2. Cleaning the actual CD that has XP on it
3. Disconnecting the USB front port from the motherboard
4. Disconnecting the USB keyboard and mouse
5. Reinstalling over and over again

| ...when you get the fatal error [installtion failed D:\1386\asms parameter is incorrect]. 1. take out the xp sp2 cd out. 2. click [ok] this goes to log screen [ok] this, the computer restarts. 3. wait until asked to put in xp sp2 cd click [ok]this[but DO NOT put xp sp2 cd in]. 4. you now have a path box with D:\1386 in it change this to E:\1386 put you xp sp2 into your E drive [your other cd drive] wait, it will remove the file AUTO if not [ok] it. 5.it will ask you to put your xp sp2 cd back into your D drive do this and [ok] it, now you should see the install continue. good luck. |
None of these worked.
Still trying other things, but what is unique about this error is that it only comes up at the 39 minute setup phase.

Did you try to download again the gdiplus.dll file? Maybe is corrupted as suggested in other sites? Another suggestion given is when it gets to the part about installing on the following partition, follow the instructions to delete the OS partition, then reformat it. Don't use the quick ntfs format. Use the regular (slow) method.
This guy also says (from same link I provided):

| If you notice on your error message, the last entry refers to an I/o device error. That means that something on that list is causing the problem. Is the system you are posting on an XP system? If so go to device manager and under view click on resources by type, then double click on input/output you will see a list of devices, controllers etc. One of those is probably creating the problem. Maybe. The fact that you are getting a syntax error on line 4 would make me think either your CDROM is not reading correctly, or you have a scratch or debris on your XP CD. I would try to take the CD into the kitchen, let the tap water get slightly warm, put one drop of dish soap on the CD and gently rub it all over with your bare thumb. You don't need to work up a lather. Then rinse it clean, pat dry it with paper towels. Make sure to blow off any lint left from the towels, and try it again. You can always install the OS with someone elses CD. Just put your code in when it asks for the key. The key is not integrated into the CD, and activation should not be a problem. |
It seems it worked for several people.

I created a different install disk on a DVD-R, I was using a CD-RW and I think that was the problem. For some reason an early install of Windows cannot read CD-RW and / or a DVD Writer (what I was using to read the CD-RW). Also, on that site I was reminded about something I did when installing Windows XP on another system a year ago - I had to take an old CD-ROM and put it in a new system in order for the install to go through.
In the end the MAIN problem of this is that XP cannot handle RWs on install.
So after over 24 hours of trying all kinds of things to get XP installed, I finally did it. Now I have to spend the rest o the night updating Windows and installing necessary software. Thank you Bill Gates.
