Cyclic Redundancy Check error

[Ritalin]

Hey everybody,

I have been trying to get some old stuff off a CD i burned a while back, but every time, i get an error saying:

Cyclic Redundancy Check error with the file name in front of it...

Does it mean my cd is corrupt?

Will it fail every time?

What can i do to get the stuff on it?

Thx in advance

When I got that error on my old laptop, I couldnt fix it. I hate that error so much!!

The CRC check you speak of is a kind of checksum check. It's basically referring to the fact that your CD is corrupt. Now, it could be that the actual CD is corrupt, or it could be that your drive is struggling to read it properly. Try it in another drive, and try wiping the CD with a soft non-abraisive cloth.

Whenever i get that error with a cd, i useually means its dead.

yeah, disc is corrupt, i got that with a full 4GB DVD once..

i was so angry, i snapped it in half and the bits flew everywhere. That'll teach it.

[Post-It Note]

There are some programs that will try to read the data many many times until it reads it, but I forgot the name of the program. Maybe someone else knows.

Iso Buster?

That program takes a humongous amount of time trying to ecover a disc and even then it might not be able to read it..

Cool, any more programs like that to test?

I think there's a programme called blindread, that may help.

I use this to recover data from disks with the problems you're writing about.

CDCheck

Guys, ive faced this problem alot expecially with the cheap media Princo for DVDr.

I ran a search on google and came up with something that actually worked,

called cd roller.

give it a try.

I got the Cyclic Redundancy Check error once on my computer ...

I tried inserting the disc onto my sister's computer ... and it worked...

I don't know the reason behind it :s
