How To Delete File With Crc Error
XP laptop… I had a file which I could not delete (even after a reboot) and each time I tried, the error returned was: Cannot delete filename: Data Error (Cyclic Redundancy Check) Various Internet sites suggested rebooting in safe mode and removing the file - that didn't work but chkdsk /r located the bad disk sectors and recovered the data. Once this was complete, I successfully removed the file. If you have to do this, be ready for the chkdsk process to take a while.

I've seen this problen three times in the past year or so and every time a new hard disk was eventually needed. My first bit of advice is to back up everything you don't want to lose. And if your latop is under warranty, you might like to claim a new hard disk sooner rather than later! While chkdsk can find and "fix" the errors, about all the fix is good for is to enable you to delete the file. In most cases, while the file is intact enough to be deleted, it's may not contain the data you wanted. In my case, I found several digital audio tracks were trashed on my laptop when it failed. Fortunately, I had a backup. In general, CRC errors are neither a good thing not a good sign! Prepare for the worst and you're not going to be too caught out when the disk finally gives up the ghost.

Even after running chkdsk once I could not delete it. But then I ran chkdsk again and the file was actually corrected, solving my (lack of) IP address problem. (Note: To run chkdsk, go to the desired drive (e.g., c:) and right click-then select properties. On the tools tab, select Error Checking and click check now. Check only the first box, which is what I did on my 2nd run. On my first unsuccessful run, I checked both boxes. Okay the check disk, scheduled for the next start-up, and

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 or delete it a box pops up with this error message: "Error deleting file or folder. Cannot delete cxTrish and http://www.markwilson.co.uk/blog/2006/04/deleting-files-with-crc-errors-in.htm 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 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 http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-delete-file-1 FreeCommander (run it as administrator). 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!!

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. G

The copy failed part way through with a cyclic redundancy check error. How can I how to 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 how to delete 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 t(Nederlands)Polska (Polski)România (Română)Singapore (English)Türkiye (Türkçe)Россия (Русский)ישראל (עברית)المملكة العربية السعودية (العربية)ไทย (ไทย)대한민국 (한국어)中华人民共和国 (中文)台灣 (中文)日本 (日本語)香港特別行政區 (中文) Microsoft Home Ask a question Quick access Forums home Browse forums users FAQ Search related threads Remove From My Forums Answered by: File Conflict: Cannot delete files...Cyclic Redundancy Check Windows Home Server > Windows Home Server Software Question 0 Sign in to vote How can I delete these files? I've read other posts, 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, 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 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).

(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 folders!
