If you have XP, right click on the hd in Explorer, select Properties, select the Tools tab, in the error checking section click the "Check now" button. In the window that opens, tick the two boxes and hit start. If its your C: drive then it might tell you it can't do it now but will do it on a restart. If you have a different windows OS then the instructions might need to vary a little. Give us some more info on you OS and whether you are copying from a CD/DVD/HD etc. |

| 394403 | 2005-10-08 01:33:00 | It is a problem with the source file. A bad CRC means that the file is corrupted. So it's no use, even if you could copy it. It won't be a problem with the destination drive. Microsoft doesn't do wimpy things like checking for errors on writes. :D |
