This is worth attempting if this is the first game you are trying to install on steam. If this is only happening for one game, then chances are permissions are ok and this will not work.

This is unfortunately one of the easier fixes that is more than likely going to work for you. The game was only 1gb so this was a super quick and easy approach to take but I know for those with games nearing 100GB, you might want to find easier alternatives. I then tried to reinstall the game and it worked. This allowed me to uninstall the game and all trace of it was wiped from my PC. I right-clicked on the game and went to Manage->Uninstall. This was what worked for me after attempting quite a few of the methods below. I will start with the most simple and quick and work down to the more difficult and time-consuming methods. The following steps are all possible ways to repair a broken game install/download. The steps below will outline some methods that you can take to try and resolve the disk write error you get when using the Steam client to install a game. After quite a bit of digging around, I was able to find the cause of the problem and fix it. I went through all of the general debugging steps that you would attempt with any game downloading issues with Steam and nothing seemed to fix the problem. When attempting to try again, this turned into a disk write error every time I tried to download the game again.

It started out as an error that had something to do with the directory location. When attempting to download a game on steam recently, I came across an error where It would not allow me to download correctly.
