Data error (cyclic redundancy check)

[Guest]

WinXP Pro SP2, patches up to date; when trying to copy a large file
(Inbox.dbx for OE6) get : Cannot copy Inbox: Data error (cyclic redundancy
check). Is there any way to recover this file? thanks.

Hey Kbgrunt

Have you tried running chkdsk on your drive?, go to start->run and in
the box that appears type chkdsk c: /f. You will be asked if you want to
run the check next time windows starts, press Y, now restart your
computer and wait for the check to complete, once it does, try copying
the file again.

It is usually the copied file that becomes corrupt during the copying.
How is the file being copied, that was it compressed and/or chopped up
into smaller parts to be recombined? Is the copy from one computer to
another or from one folder to another or one partition to another?

KBGrunt,

A simple Google search will suffice:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q="Recover+DBX+Files",+"Freeware"&btnG=Search&meta=


Not found one that is freeware though, but 100's that are shareware or paid

Matt, thanks for reply. have tried chkdsk from the DOS prompt and from
Windows Explorer C: properties -> tools; chkdsk will even start on its own
at restart; allways hangs in phase 1 after finding a few orphan files.

I think Inbox.dbx is only one of the symptoms; user's C: drive was heavily
fragmented and problem started occuring after he ran Defrag several times.
I got cyclic redundancy error when I tried to copy Inbox to server to free
room for Defrag to run. I have since deleted Inbox, but there are other file
problems. I think there are serious hard drive problems. thanks.

Just how full is the hard drive? Any error reports, esp. SMART
information during POST?

Have you run the drive manufacturers diagnostic utility against the
drive yet?
