| 486640 | 2006-09-22 07:43:00 | Hi there people Hope some one can help me out here ^^ . Just yesterday i found one my video file, in rm format, could not be played . When I tried to use RealPlayer to play the file, it gave me a similar message like this: This file cannot be played and may be corrupted . Reason being that I could not give the exact message is because now that if I try to access the file in any way my window would some what freeze, but not in a way that my mouse and other thing would stop moving just that I cannot do anything else, eg open up a folders . . . . Tried Window Defrag and Disk keeper defrag, Window System Scan, and Norton System Work Disk Scan . All showed no problem . . . :( I've tried to copy and paste the file to another drive and folder, but kept getting this I/O error or Cyclic Redun*something* error . Of course thats before when I could access the file . Tried using Media player classic, VLC, Divx and Media Player but no go . Reinstalled my codecs as well . . . same thing :S . I also have another partition of xp in another drive, booted in and tried to access the file, same thing, could not play the file :confused: . Used GSpot, couldnt detect any codecs for it . Within that folder, 2 more rm files were the same . All these video file had worked before, something that I've watched over many times . So does any one know whats up with that file or whats up with my hdd? Thanks CCF |

Though now, from time to time I dont get any errors just my hdd taking ages trying to access the file though never manages. Because of this problem, I took a look at several other video clips on that drive and found there were quite a few files that had the same problem plus now it even some files (game files) had the same problem :( Is my hdd dying? |
