Workaround for error 2 and 1117

[BJ Stigall]

I found what could be a workaround for error 1117.

after inserting the SD card into the system, go into DISKPART.

at the diskpart prompt enter:
automount disable

image your SD card. after imaging the sd card, enter:
automount enable

the above will temporarily disable automount so the program can complete the imaging. I don't know if there is a way for you to do this programmatically.

I had to run a "automount scrub" for some reason also, but I don't know why.

I did this on Windows 10 build10240.

Excellent feedback, thank you. This gives us a reference point to start looking for a programmatic solution.

Not sure when we will be able to implement this though, as neither of us have any spare development time at the moment. Marking it high priority though.

This workaround did not work for me, it was very promising :(

diskpart -> automount disable

Still getting the dreadful error message:
Getting Error 1117: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

Dell Latitude E7450
RASPBERRY PI OEM SD card.
Running Windows 10 build 10586.218.
Win32DiskImager v0.9.5 running application as Administrator.

If I insert it into my Raspberry it the SD card works and boots into Raspbian no issues.

Forgot to note that I get to about 10% and then the error message pops up and the application crashes.

Did you try the automount scrub command?

Yep, tried automount scrub, didn't seem to work.

I also have paragon ExtFS installed, which I also unmounted the drives and then turned off Auto Mount on it's application but still having issues.

I'm perplexed :(

[Tobin Davis (gruemaster)]

I'll double check the code for 0.9.5, but the current code 'should' unmount the volume before reading/writing to the raw physical device. I need to do more testing on this (volunteers???), but it should work, at least according to the MSDN documentation.

My solution for the I/O-Error was to use an other USB-Port. Pretty trivial, nevertheless I hope it helps some folks ;)
