Please reply me how i fix it
I had a similar problem with an MP3 player and also an external hard drive. The MP3 fix was a new USB cable and the hard drive problem was fixed with a new power supply. Doesn't make sense but it worked. I found the power supply from my router was the same as for the HD so I tried it. Once it worked, I bought a replacement for the HD.
I suggest checking your connections. I encountered this error while copying to a SanDisk flash drive connected to the computer by two daisy-chained USB 3.0 hubs. I moved the flash drive to an available USB port on the computer, and all went well.
The error message for 0x800701B1 doesn't tell who specified which drive, nor what the language of that specification was. Passive voice, nonspecific, ambiguous, the error message provides no guidance.
