here. I've tested it once, and it seems to work as advertised. It did more than Windows Explorer managed to do, at least. There are also roundabout ways to do this with disk image software that can ignore errors - such as ddrescue - which I'll be running on this same hard disk soon.

When mounted via USB, files on partition B can be accessed fine. Partition A was working intermittently, but is no longer readable via any Windows tool I've tried. CRC error pops up with I try to access the partition, and Windows prompts me to format it. I've tried using various file recovery programs - but all the tools either fail to read partition A when I try to recover files from it, or they don't pick up the partition at all. Is there some way http://serverfault.com/questions/315427/how-can-i-recover-files-from-a-disk-with-crc-errors I can do file recovery at the disk level, and not the partition level, to get past this? Or, is it worth formatting the partition A so that hopefully it's accessible, and then running a search with file recovery software on the empty partition? Any suggestions appreciated. (Note: I've look at the other posts and can't find anything that fits my situation. I'm trying to find out if there's anything I can do aside from shipping the disk off to a expensive data recover company - which I can't afford. Thanks). EDIT: Let me put it another way. Is it possible to take an image of the entire disk, even though some sectors of the disk will throw up CRC errors? Because the disk seems to be continually degrading (and USB is slow), my thinking is that I can then run some of the 12 hr+ deep recovery routines hard-drive data-recovery share|improve this question edited Nov 21 '11 at 22:37 asked Sep 26 '11 at 4:38 Sam C 106113 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote The most effective tool Ive ever used for recovering files from a screwed drive is R-Studio.

I believe the problem is only in a few places, and since they're video files, I don't really care if I miss a few frames. Does anyone know of a program to copy the files and ignore the CRC error? Paul Miner Ars Tribunus Militum Registered: Jun 7, 2004Posts: 2198 Posted: Fri Aug 11, 2006 11:33 pm I don't know of a program, but I know of a roundabout way of doing this. Create an image of the disk and tell the program to ignore errors (a common option for imaging programs). Then open the image and copy the files.

Allows you to copy files from disks with problems such as bad sectors, scratches or that just give errors when reading data. The program will attempt to recover every readable piece of a file and put the pieces together.BadCopy Pro is another option. 3
file to her desktop, she would get the same error, informing herthe file could not be copied due to some type of corruption. She wanted to know if I could possibly help. I opened the cd in my own cd-rom drive and tried copying the file she was having a problem with and I realized it couldn't be copied on my system either. Therefore, in all likelihood, itwas the cd itself that was problematic, not the system, player or other hardware. The error received when trying to copy the file was a cyclic redundancycheck (CRC) error. In fact, this is the most common error encountered with cd/dvd access or copying problems and I knew that such a problem was often caused by a dirty or scratched disc, so I examined the surface of the cd and just as I suspected, it was marked. It had a distinct smudgeprinton it. I cleaned the whole cd and after doing so, voila! ,I was able to copy the needed file from the cd to my hard drive.I informed her that the problem was fixed and when I told her it was just a matter of cleaning the disc, she was surprised that the solutionwas so simple and never thought such a confoundingproblem could be caused by a less than pristine condition cd. The fact is that cds and dvds can be very finicky. Just one speck of dirt or a hairline scratch can cause problems in accessing your data or the disc itself. These marks can make it difficult for the drive's laser beam to properly read the disc. Fortunately, dirty discs can be cleaned. Scratches can be more problematic, though, in many cases they can be repaired. With scratches, the severity of the problemdepends muchon the type and location of the scratch.Scratches that run across the disc or along the track, as opposed to those that run in a straight line from rim to center, can be the most difficult to repair. These type of problems are unique to cd and dvd media because the surfaces of the discs are bare and exposed, offering no protection against dust, finger prints,smudge, dirt and scratches. An exception is most dvd-ram discs which are encased in protective cartridges. Hard drives are enclosed in a tough metal shell and even cheap floppy discs are protected with a plastic cartridge. It should be stated that most sc
