DISK_705 Disk Write Error **Please Help**

Recommended Posts

Hello all, thanks for helping/visiting thread, if you do.

Problem: When downloading Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA, the download finishes, begins extracting, then brings up this error.

The error says: DISK_705 Disk Write Error: Could not write to this location. Please make sure your download folder is accessible, not write protected (or locked by anti-virus scanner) and that you have permissions to it. If the problem persists, save to a different location and run as an Administrator. Download ID: (a mix of numbers and letters i blacked out in the pic and won't write in case they are not to be shared).

 

Just to give a little bit of background: I just built my computer last week, I have norton anti-virus, and on my laptop (computer used before) I was able to download and play Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA just fine with none of these problems. Also I have had no problems installing other games on my computer.

 

Rig (if something would be wrong with it):

Intel core i3 3220 3.30 GHz

EVGA 650 TI Boost 2 GB

Western Digital Caviar Blue HDD (500 GB)

4 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM

MSI B75MA-P45 Mother Board

Corsair 500W PSU

Windows 7 

 

Please Help, Thank you for your time.

I'm sorry, but I either don't know how to do that, or i did it wrong, if you could tell me how to do it, that would be amazing.

 

Thx again though.
