cyclic redundancy error?

[reptilej]

when i try to copy some mp3's from a cd to my winxp ntfs hd, i get a cyclic redundancy error. has anyone ever gotten this error before or knows how to go around it?

run scandisk on the drive. the cd could be screwed also.

If it was happening on my drive, I would start backing up my data and shop for a new drive or get a replacement. By experience, this is not a good sign.

it only happens for a few of the mp3's, do you still think it's a bad cd or bad hard drive?

ive never heard of a cyclic redundancy error on a hard drive, only on floppys. if you can copy other files off the cd without the error, it just sounds like a bad burn.

Oups...sorry, I just re-read your original post and I thought you were trying to move or access a file on your hard drive. Sounds like a bad burn to me too.
