I am totally confused, so am hoping someone on here can help.
OK, here it goes. I am getting crc corruption errors when trying to unpack .rar files. I thought this was only happening on new files that I have downloaded recently, but also tried to unpack a file that I downloaded a few months ago, but this is also now giving the same problem, even though it was fine when it was first downloaded.
Ok, so now the history. I have recently upgraded my machine with a FoxConn P4M9007MB MB, an Intel E2140 Core Duo, an MSI 8600GT and a 160Gb SATA and 250Gb IDE Drive running Windows XP. The SATA drive is the main drive in the machine, and which is running XP.
My previous hardware was an ECS K7S5A, with an Athlon XP 1900+, Geforce 6600 and the original 250Gb hard drive (where this drive was running XP)
I have run defrags, chkdsks and it has found no problems with the hard drives. I have checked the S.M.A.R.T on the drives, and they are telling me that the drives are in Very Good working order.
I do not believe that is is a prob with the downloads, as I said previous ones from a while ago work fine, and sometimes the same files that I have just downloaded will occasionally unpack.
I have no other problems with the machine at all. The machine is stable, have not had any crashes, and programs and games work all fine.
I am totally confused on what might be happening here.
