[jonathan perreault]

the error i get is and i quote "Cannot copy Stop the lil Flip-T.I. Beef:
Data error (cyclic Redundancy check)."

what the heck is that? i mean i am not a newbie when it come to computers i
built this one from scratch but i have no idea what this error means. can
anyone help? hope fully there is a fix for this, it's sucks had 7,000 songs
on my harddrive and i lost them all and now i am trying to transfer the
files from my dvd which only has 5,000 songs to my hard drive but windows
won't let me, and i seem to get this error on different pc's

so what would cause it? would it be faulty drive? an error while writing? i
used a dvd-r to backup my music but it is a pain to restore it since it
keeps giving me that error, but when i play it with windows media player all
is well.
