This is a Windows copy error, usually due to incompatibility between 
your hard drive and a peripheral (usually a CD driver.) I found several 
references to this on the web (search for "ReadProcessMemory or 
WriteProcessMemory Error"). Most of them I looked at suggested the same fix:

When you try to copy data from your CD drive, or you attempt to install 
a program from your CD drive, you receive either of the following:

The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

Only part of a readprocessmemory or writeprocessmemory request was 
completed.


This behavior will occur if Windows is configured to use a transfer mode 
that the CD drive does NOT support.

To resolve this behavior:

1. Start / Run / devmgmt.msc / OK.

2. Expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.

3. Double-click the channel where your CD drive is connected, typically 
the Secondary IDE Channel.

4. Select the Advanced Settings tab.

5. For the Device that represents your CD drive, toggle Transfer Mode to 
PIO Only and press OK.
