Those may be internal storage devices or an external drive connected to a PC via a USB port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Affected Windows users say that they received the i\/o error 0x8007045d <a href=\"https:\/\/answers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/forum\/all\/error-0x8007045d-the-request-could-not-be\/17d085c8-bab4-4d31-9a2b-e7a4ba38d387\">message<\/a> when trying to move files from one storage to another. There are several reasons this can happen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The transfer mode is not compatible with one or both storage devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The USB port is not functioning properly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/fix-external-hard-drive-not-showing-up-in-file-explorer\/\">External hard drive issue<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drivers are not updated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, the i\/o error 0x8007045d issue may be linked to software or hardware issues on your PC.

To do it, just plug your storage device to another USB port on your computer or try a different USB cable. If you can open the device this way, you don\u2019t need to change anything further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Boot_in_Safe_Mode\"><\/span>Method 2: Boot in Safe Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There may be some third-party applications that run incorrectly and cause error 0x8007045d on Windows 10. To check whether that\u2019s the reason, try starting your PC in safe mode. Follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Press <kbd>Win<\/kbd> + <kbd>R<\/kbd> on your keyboard to open the Run module.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type <code class=\"inline\">msconfig<\/code> and hit <kbd>Enter<\/kbd> on your keyboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the System Configuration dialog, move to the Boot tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the box next to the \u2018<strong>Safe boot<\/strong>\u2019 option and click OK.<br>Now restart your PC and see if there are any error messages appearing on the desktop.
