Cyclic Redundancy Check Error Raw Drive
This post has been reported. I was trying to move a photo that I scanned to
Cyclic Redundancy Check Error Detection
a folder in My Documents a long time ago. I was moving all the photos in that folder and they all moved successfully except cyclic redundancy check error 23 this one. Every time I try to either move it 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 https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-cyclic-redundancy-check.981483/ 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 help you can give me. Thank you! Reports: · Posted 7 years ago Top LH Posts: 20002 This post has been reported. Hello rosakw. Try this. Download,and install FreeCommander (run it as administrator). Navigate to the files you can't delete. Rename http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-delete-file-1 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!!

Reports: · Posted 7 years ago Top ScottW Posts: 6609 This post has been reported. rosakw, hello. This error message is mildly troubling. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is used to verify data written to the hard drive. The CRC error message you get says that there might be a problem on the hard drive where that file is written. I want you to run a full length diagnostic on that hard drive to see if there is a problem. First, we need to know the manufacturer of the drive so that you can get the right diagnostic tool. Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information. That will launch the system information utility. Expand (click on the plus) the

CRC https://askleo.com/how_do_i_fix_a_cyclic_redundancy_check_error_when_i_try_to_copy_a_file/ 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 https://www.windowsbbs.com/threads/crc-error-trying-to-delete-file.96237/ 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 cyclic redundancy 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 cyclic redundancy check 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 harLinks HelpWithWindows.com RoseCitySoftware.com Recommended Links Menu Log in or Sign up Search Search titles only Posted by Member: Separate names with a comma.
