Help: What is this error I get?

Hunders · 23 Jan 2008 at 00:41

Ok, I am trying to copy some files to my PC off of a DVD-R but I keep getting an error and the files do not get copied. Here is the error I get:

Error Copying File or Folder
Cannot copy ****** Data error(cyclic redundancy check)

The **** are the file name. Can someone shed some light on what this actually means and if I can stop it from happening somehow?

Cheers.

Your DVD (or drive) is knackered. Check for scratches, maybe try ripping to ISO at a slow speed.

Cant be, I get the same error with both my DVD drive and the DVD burner and they work fine with everything else.

It will be the disk (either stratched or the data) is buggered..

Well I did say it was either the DVD or the drive, so I guess you just narrowed it down.

Probably is the disc then. My mate, who burned the DVD, has quite an old PC so the burner is probably burning errors.

CRC = Cyclic Redundancy Check. A test to see if the data being read from the disk is valid or not. See above posts on what to do

How do I rip to an ISO?

use one of the host of CD /DVD utilities you can get. Nero for example or MagicISO Creator. Should be some in the "good freeware" thread (or whatever it's called...)
