Thank you.  I have tried your experiment and thrown out a disk.  Also I appreciate the explanation.


<div>
we use windows xp &amp;&nbsp;while trying to copy data from a cd (we had saved earlier) onto our c drive to overwrite old data, a message appeared saying &quot;cannot copy ........: data error (cyclic redundancy check). &nbsp;And then it deleted our access database which held 5700 records from our c drive &amp;&nbsp;we still cannot copy the cd from d drive onto our c drive. &nbsp;where did it go and why? can we get it back?<br />
<br />
please respond as soon as possible. &nbsp;because i need to get started now to re-input 5700 records..............:)<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

When I try to copy a file from a disk on my new computer I often get the message, Error copying file:<br />
Cannot copy (filename): Data error (cyclic redundancy check)<br />
What does this mean? &nbsp;My new computer is a Dell 450 with NT 4.0. &nbsp;My old one that creates the disk is a windows 95 pro 200. &nbsp;Is my new NT machine screwed up? &nbsp;I have had sound problems with it from day one (so much for Dell's reliability)
