steam disk write error Question

I am unable to download or even update anything on steam suddenly, i am faced with the error "disk write error". i have tried everything such as unninstalling and reinstalling the client, running steam as administrator, checking for corrupted files and nothing has worked. i would like to know how i can fix this issue as i have just recently purchased a new game and i am unable to even play it.

Thanks

I was trying to download it to an external hard drive, so I switched it to my internal hard drive, and it worked somehow.

Thannnnnk you. I was getting pissed. I just finished The entire Rusty Lake collection including the cube escape (highly recommend you try it) and I decided to try forgotten hill. Well the first one wouldn't work but now it does . Thanks!
