<p>I downloaded Bitcoin Core 0.13.1. After starting the program it gives me an error:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>2016-11-09 18:38:17 IO error:<br>
  C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\chainstate\304129.ldb: Impossibile
  eseguire la richiesta a causa di un errore di dispositivo I/O.<br>
  2016-11-09 18:38:17 *** System error while flushing: Database I/O
  error</p>
</blockquote>

<p>The error seems to translate to English as "Failed to execute request due to a I/O device error."</p>

I think this error is the equivalent of the english error "[The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error](http://www.thewindowsclub.com/request-could-not-be-performed-io-device-error)."

You may want to [check the state of your disk to make sure there are no issues](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7248), also, [that your data directory has the correct permissions set](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1362047.0).

I hope this helps! :)

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

There is likely an issue with your hard disk. You should create a backup of your `wallet.dat`, then run disk diagnostics, and perhaps replace the disk in the near future if the diagnostics indicate a problem.
