Data Error:Cyclic Redundancy Error

[Joyride]

I am trying to copy mp3's from a cd-rw to HD and I get this error ever so often

What does it mean and how do I fix it?

 

[mchammer187]

clean the cd

and if u have a skip doctor use that also

CD's brand new

Bought it, backed up stuff, formatted HD

All within 3 or 4 days

i dont know what to tell you then because every time i get that error its because a cd has been too scratched or very dirty

you might have scratched it when u wrote on it also because the data layer is closer to the to of the cd than the bottom


otherwise maybe your cd rom needs cleaning

otherwise copy the songs like 10-20 at a time

usually it will just be one or a couple of files that are affected

and you should be able to salvage everything else

Cyclical Redunancy Check (CRC) is a form of error checking that's on CD's. It basically adds extra data to check whether a set of data is correct. If you are getting CRC errors then either there's something wrong with the CD (or perhaps it's copy-protected, some music CD's are nowadays), or there's something wrong with the CDROM.

The CD is a new CD-RW with mp3's I get the same error either using my Lite-ON 16x dvd drive or my burner

odd

anyway
