Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement Peter Miles Thread Starter Joined: Mar 2, 2009 Messages: 10 My computer runs on Windows XP. I am OK as a user but not great as a fundi of fixing wrong things with the computer! I copied some information from a website into a Word document, and then saved the document into a folder on my computers hard drive. The file is only 109 Kb. The first time I knew I had a problem was when I was backing up my C Drive to an external hard drive and the copying was aborted due to this file. I can't open this document - error message "this file cannot be found" I can't delete this document, or move it to another folder - error message "Data error (cyclic redundancy check). Please help! I can't afford not to back up folders and then lose all my information, gained over years of hard work, if my system crashes, or my computer is stolen etc etc. Peter Miles, Feb 18, 2011 #1 Sponsor kniht Joined: May 7, 2006 Messages: 1,763 Try defragging your hard drive and then run chkdsk. kniht, Feb 18, 2011 #2 Peter Miles Thread Starter Joined: Mar 2, 2009 Messages: 10 Thanks for the reply, Kniht.

The How-To Geek Forums Have Migrated to Discourse How-To Geek Forums / Windows XP Can't delete file (14 posts) Started 7 years ago by rosakw Latest reply from LH Topic Viewed 3556 times rosakw Posts: 48 This post has been reported. I was trying to move a photo that I scanned to a folder in My Documents a long time ago. I was moving all the photos in that folder and they all moved successfully except this one. Every time I try to either move it https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-cyclic-redundancy-check.981483/ or delete it a box pops up with this error message: "Error deleting file or folder. Cannot delete cxTrish and John.JPG:Data error (cyclic redundancy check)." I then decided to just delete the whole folder, as it wasn't needed any more anyway and I get the same message. So how do I get rid of this photo and why is it doing that? I'd appreciate any http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-delete-file-1 help you can give me. Thank you!

Navigate to the files you can't delete. Rename them, and then delete them from within FC. http://www.freecommander.com/ Reports: · Posted 7 years ago Top rosakw Posts: 48 This post has been reported. Hello LH, I did as you said and it still won't let me change the file name or delete it through FreeCommander either. It did let me change the folder name but got the same error message when trying to delete it. Thank you for trying! If you have any more ideas I'm open to them!!

I've read other posts, https://askleo.com/how_do_i_fix_a_cyclic_redundancy_check_error_when_i_try_to_copy_a_file/ and as far as I can tell, no one really knows. I keep seeing 1) submit a bug report (which I did, I think, on MS Connect) and 2)turn off duplication, cannot delete AV software etc. I've done all that....I tried to delete them using cmd prompt (del d:\shares\users\offending folder) and it says "Are you sure Y/N?" So, I type Y (YES I'm sure!), but the file (folder in this case) is still there. I tried running CHKDSK on a few disks in cmd prompt, but I was being asked some questions I cannot delete cyclic didn't understand. Something about something will be lost, so I said N. I have 5 files that are reporting this error in the same folder (they happen to be VIA drivers, but I figure that is irrelavant). I JUST WANT TO DELETE THEM. HELP?

(look through the mount points) Just browse through D:\DE\shares\[sharename] and C:\fs\x\DE\shares\[sharename] from the server desktop (where x is a random letter or number). For example, if you have a file in \\server\videos called test.avi that is causing a problem, then the full path to the actual file will either be D:\DE\shares\videos\test.avi or C:\fs\x\DE\shares\videos\test.avi (again, where x is a random letter or number). So if you found the full path to the actual file was C:\fs\1M\DE\shares\videos\test.avi, then you would want to run chkdsk on 1M. The command for that would be: Code Snippet chkdsk C:\fs\1M /r Just remember, don't change anything while you're looking through the folde

CRC errors happen when there's a bad spot on the media of your hard disk. Data recovery and disk repair are often possible with the right tools. //
Outlook started acting up, so as part of my attempts to fix it I tried to copy the PST to another location. The copy failed part way through with a cyclic redundancy check error. How can I get past this and backup my data? The cyclic redundancy check, or "CRC" error, indicates a bad spot on your hard drive. The fact that you're seeing it when you try to copy a file indicates that the bad spot may be within the file itself. We need to verify that and then we need to try to recovery your file and repair your hard drive. First, let's make sure that the problem is actually with the file you're copying since it's equally likely that the problem is with the location you're copying too. This is easy. Fire up a Command Prompt window, and then copy the file to NUL: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:>CD (to wherever the file is located) C:wherever>copy Outlook.pst NUL 1 file(s) copied. This reads the entire file by copying it "nowhere". If this succeeds, the problem is not actually with the file itself, but the location you were trying to copy it to. My recommendation would be to copy it to a different disk entirely, or a different machine on your local network. If this copy fails, then we've confirmed that the bad sector on your hard disk is actually being used by some portion of your file. • Now that we've confirmed that the problem is in fact in the file itself, we need to make as best a copy of it as we can, somewhere else. This sets a position of "it can't get any worse than this". Some data within the file may be lost, but you'll have copied as much as possible before the recovery efforts. Once again, we want to copy the file to some different hard disk, or some
