CEU2 - 500GB). It installed perfectly fine on Vista and I was able to transfer all my music onto the larger drive (freeing up much needed space on my laptop). Every http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/294291-32-cannot-initialize-disk-cyclic-redundancy-check thing was fine until recently when I plugged in the hard drive and it did not appear. After various attemtps to plug back in, reinstall drivers Turbo USB etc I checked the Disk MAnagement and I could see the drive but it was not initialized. So I tried to get the disk to inititialize but I got the Cyclic Redundancy Error https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/358bdcfe-4e61-44ee-8d86-dc7214161f32/external-hard-drive-wont-initiallise-due-to-cyclic-redundancy-check-error-please-help?forum=itprovistahardware Check. I have tried various programs to check the drive for bad sectors but the problem when even booting it directly from floppy (inc the drivers for the USB ports) the disk is not recongised as being there. The only two places it appears when it is plugged in is the dik management and in devices.I don't know if this is important but my cat at one point knocked the drive over onto a hard surface a few days prior to the problem.I really don't want to lose the hours spent riping all my CD's on to the drive. :(Please does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can eith fix this or at the very least get me to the point where I can transfer all my data off the drive onto another?Thank you very much Tuesday, June 30, 2009 11:26 AM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum.

John RobertsonWritten 107w agoAs the saying goes Avodeji , with difficulty. The problem you describe is not uncommon. Sometimes it can be fixed and sometimes it can’t. It depends on the details. If you have another copy of the data on the external drive and a Broadband connection then my inclination would be to get rid of the external hard disk and to back up your files in the Cloud – probably Dropbox. There are various other effective Cloud systems.If you have another copy of the data but no Broadband then I’d get a new external drive. A single faulty sector on your present drive can cause the problem you describe. It shouldn’t but it can.If you have important data on the external drive and have no other copy then the solution is harder. There may not be
a few minutes. Join Now I had a drive controller board go bad, so I ordered one from ebay that matched the model/series to try and get it working again. I've done this is the past with no problems, but this time the drive shows up as 134217728.00 GBs. It's been years since I've fixed that type of issue and can't for the life of me remember what utility I used to fix the software and settings of the controller board. Anyone ever run into this and know what software I'm forgetting about? All I remember is it was a command line util I used.

But if I got it right, I think you may also need to transfer the ROM from the original hard drive PCB to the donor board that you bought from Ebay. 0 Jalapeno OP BriMat Aug 28, 2014 at 12:33 UTC Frozwire wrote: I don't know if I understand you're problem correctly about the drive controller that you mean.
