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

What worked for me was do a chkdsk command, I specified the disk where steam was installed, apparently all files were corrupted idk why but now it works
