365340 2005-06-19 13:40:00 I have a floppy which I used to back up my Quicken files. Now I am trying to import them back into Quicken and I am getting the message "cyclic redundancy check". Is this a damaged floppy or is there a program I can get that I can get the info off this floppy? ironman (6770)

365342 2005-06-20 13:08:00 Hey thanks for your help. I tried that website this morning but still couldn't retrieve the data, so I rang my accountant and asked him to send me a copy which he did so I have been able to work with that. Thanks again for your time. :) ironman (6770)
365343 2005-06-20 21:13:00 Means it couldn't read the files. Usually means the floppy disk is stuffed. Use a new one. pctek (84)
365344 2005-06-20 21:19:00 yeh and take this as a lesson.............DONT ever back up important data onto floppy......they are known to fail all by themselves at times......they're unreliable....use cd's......much safer drcspy (146)
