thanks in advance

Did you run a Chkdsk or Scandisk on your slave drive?

[cjules13]

I've seen that before, on a slave drive, for some individual files. They are corrupted and from what I tried, unrecoverable.

Getting CRCs on drive is usually a sign they are about to fail. I'd backup everything on that drive.

Chances are you can't even delete that file either. Do a backup of everything else and reformat the drive and never really trust it agian.

I might be overreactinig, but anytime a drive even lookes at me crooked, I do a fresh backup.

[DigitalJunkie]

When I get a new drive, I usually do a format on that drive even if it comes pre-formated.

[Krell]

I would use the Digiwiz Mini PE XT boot disc, and run the chkdsk on those drives, and try to copy the data while booted to the PE CD. You might want to run the Vopt defragger also. Plus there's Norton Disc DR etc etc. I do not have high confidence you will recover the files with no corruption.

If you guys do not have the Digiwiz PE, I suggest you get it, TODAY.

I get Cyclic Redundancy Checks on pretty much every dvd back-up I burn after about a month. So I stopped making back-ups. I do not trust dvd's for backing up important shit at all. They have a shelf life of like one month.

Damn, you might have a shite burner then. I got a ton of DVD backups that are almost 2 years old still working.

Or crappy media, or both... especially if it's happening to all your DVDs.

Me too. No problem with my media on disks. I have burnt CD's from 1999 that still play flawlessly.

I have seen that same error using DVD Shrink before, but have long since moved on to better copying/shrinking software.

same thing happened to me and HDD failed a couple of weeks later. I wasn't really pissed...the damn thing had been going for 4 years. After that happened, I just built another computer.

A lot of the time this can happen when you burn a disk too fast, or the buffer on your burner is lame. it can also happen if the media on which the data is stored is of low-quality.

I have run into a lot of these error messages and when i cant use a program to "Recover the Data" there is only two more options that are both effective in their own way, but work better together.

this is a bit complicated, but here:

install a faster drive. a fast dvd +/- rw like a 16x works wonders (especially in nt and xp).
if you dont have one, us a program OTHER than explorer.exe (Windows file that always runs the regular transfer of files) to transfer the files. Such as a p2p proggie that allows you to download from yourself. Example: in WinMX, dissconnect from the net to save memory for the transfer and then open your "Library" window. share ONLY from the disk in question and then set your 'MX settings for a Primary Connection.

Click the connect button in the "Networks" window and open a chat room. (If you are offline, you must start a search for something in the "Search" window. Browse and download the file(s) and if this does not work, you may have to use a dos bootup and copy the file(s) directly. You can also try a nifty little proggie:
Knoppix. it boots linux from dc-rom without tampering with the HDD. (Uses a lot of memory, i recomend 256mb+) boot from cd-rom and when you are logged into the knoppix GNU, copy the files from your secondary cd/dvd-rw (or rom, saying you HAVE a secondary) directly to a partition recognized by knoppix.

bit complicated??? These things work for me, but if they dont for you... sorry...lol :icon_thum

[black_magiic]

I've had the same problem with four different burners, it's only with cd's and the current set of dvd's are TDK the last were memorex and I've had some imation ones.

[infoseeker]

(SoreVexed: im sorry, but its not a burning problem, its in my slave hd the problem "i think")

(DigitalJunkie: i will try this when i get at home)

(cjules13: yap! ive been thinking that the problem is in my HD but reformatting is not an option since i only installed and reformatt this 3 months ago but thanks for that= rep 4 u)

Dude your hard drive is REALLY failing.People didn't just tell you that to mess with you.
How will you solve it?By getting as much data as you can off the drive as quickly as possible and throwing it in the trash.There are lots of ways to solve this easy problem,pick one and do it before your data is gone for good.

Dude, I have them ALL. It's just easier to point someone to the Digiwiz version as most people will never allocate the time to explore the Diamond. But yes, all things considered, I would (and DO) pass along the Diamond.

IN FACT . . . I just sent 10 of this type CDs to the Philippines in a balikbayan box; to someone who sent me a dead drive from there as a favor. Once they get them in a few weeks, I am thinking of asking he copy and pass along to Infoseeker.

If I ever damage a CD or DVD and get the redundancy error, I use CDcheck http://www.kvipu.com/CDCheck/ It will hammer out most problems unless a huge hunk of data is bad. I don't know if this would help the original poster at all.
I too have some fairly old DVDs and I trust them as a back up medium, more than I trust a HD anyway. You only have to take care of them and make sure your data is ok after each burn as ive had a bad batch or two of DVDs that would burn fine only to find out later the disc had errors because of faulty discs. Checking them after the burn would have caught this and saved me grief. Follow these simple rules and all should be good for many years or until the second coming.



Edit: CDcheck will give you a trialware window but ive never had to register mine and ive had it for a year.

where can i get this one? found something like " minipe-XT2K6.07.04" is that one?
and how to use it?
of course i can burn bootable disk



back to my real problem and this is what i got

Did you run a Chkdsk or Scandisk on your slave drive?
i used this error checking in my 3 (partitions,1 is the OS=master and the 2 are from my slave) drives but i think its a big mistakeS.
im getting this messages "The disk check could not performed because of this shit blah blah. this files can be
accessed only by restarting windows. do you want to schedule,,,,,next time you restart the pc?"
then i choosed yes...
:drunken_s Oh man it takes already 3 hours but nothing appears in my monitor but i know the processor is
working for this "disk check" (coz i see the red lightning below on the green light in 0n/off button.sometimes flashing but most of the time steady) but i cant wait until when so i restart it again and press F8 then choose
last good configuration and it starts ok.

then i used this "CHKDSK" in run command and it works in CMD and i think its ok for that.

any more idea?

[Mels_Smileys45]

Thus this is why I added that I did not think that program would help you. It might help others though. You still could try it I guess. It would fetch whatever parts of the file or files that are not fucked up. If its a movie it will likely work it out but get a little bumpy in some places.

You have corrupt sectors, you need to try and save the data there the best you can.

Try it again and give it a couple minutes. It's deleted from the tracker but there are still 2 seeds out there.I checked and was dl'ing at 300KB/s before I cancelled due to already having it.If you have utorrent(and probaly Azureus) it will find the seeds through some black bittorrent magic that I won't go into here(because I barely know anything about how it works and would look like a dork).
At any rate there is a newer version available on PB but I haven't tried that one yet.If Krell recommended this one and not the new one he might have a reason(other than having a life and more important things to deal with).I'd just grab both of them.Cd's are cheap.

i start it yesterday morning to dl'd, then nothing happens after 3hrs its starts the dl'd after the whole day it only finish 11.7%, thats why i stick to the 2nd one even tho its a big file but its dl'd (even its only 4kbps to 10kbps, but im content with it)
You have 300kbps or more in your connection= your lucky with your ISP
our one here in my work, we have only 80kbps to 90kbps and were paying for that US$90/month

BTW, thanks alot to both of you, hopefully i can finish the dl'd today so i can use the CD by tomorow morning in my pc in the house

Why not just finish both CDs?


Do you have a drive you can copy inportant files to? Of course, with the drive errors, you may not be able to copy or burn to CD, you may be stuck with just trying to repair the file structure etc.

[Krell]

The newer PE cd is still based on the work by Digiwiz, was just recompiled by someone else, is a tad larger, albeit It is not obvious to me what was added.

I used my original Digiwiz, and while booted to it, used an app there to burn the newer digiwiz. I swapped disks and booted to the new one with a nice beach background.

Infoseeker, either use the Disk Check on Digiwiz, or from a CMD prompted there type " chkdsk C: /f/r "

This is slow but thorough.

[nukehella]

i thought its only my "OPERA 9.2" has problem, now its a FACT that its not compatible to ZP but im still sticked in opera


I think you meant to say that ZP is not compatible with Opera not the other way around.Opera works on standards(that I know nothing about).Evidently the ZP site has some bad code somewhere.I'm not a software guy so I don't know.
I do know that it's the only site out of the thousands I've been on that has this problem.
It's not like I posted all that much before I finally dumped Firefox and moved up anyway.It does piss me off though.

[Krell]

I've been on the Mini PE XT OS for the past 2 days, im on it now, AND I am on both Opera and Firefox posting on this forum.

Save the browser issues for another thread and stay on topic.

.

[nukehella]

That's an old version of Opera,8.0x--try it with one of the Opera 9 releases.

[Krell]

What I meant was - he has much deeper issues than worrying about whether he can see the ads on ZP.

If he doesnt get that drive fixed, his only choice will be the Mini PE disk he downloaded.

[nukehella]

OK. I just figured since he hadn't been on the thread in 3 days he had it resolved.Plus he was on about 12 hours ago.But out of respect to you I'll stay on topic.

then transfer again them to my pc in the house i will try if it will happen again

thanks again for all the supports and help

ill post again here what will be the progress


happy holidays

[Krell]

While on the Mini PE disc, start the networking services for DHCP and Apply - OK, and you can be on ZP while you fix yor disk.

Take time to get familiar with that disc, you'll be even more impressed.

ill let you know more next time what happen

thanks for the time man.........

Ahh ok, no worries, I never knew if you were kidding or not about the internet access. You don't have to persuade me, while I was on my own episode of LOST, I rarely could find working internet either. Or, if I could, it sucked.

Good luck with your project. Let me know if you need anything.

Once you get the data off that drive, then it's really just a matter of determining if it is failing or not. Use utilities from the manufacturer such as Maxtor and see if the drive has SMART errors or problems. It may be that you can just re partition and re format the drive and get more life from it, who knows.

Someone from Manila sent me a drive recently that is a Maxtor 30g that doesn't report correctly in the BIOS. The controller board is probably good, but the code on the platter is slightly corrupted, which basically makes it a paper weight, even I cant recover it.

If you use MaxBlast etc you should be able to get an indication of what the problem is. I take it this is not under warranty?

It may be that you can just re partition and re format the drive and get more life from it, who knows.

Someone from Manila sent me a drive recently that is a Maxtor 30g that doesn't report correctly in the BIOS. The controller board is probably good, but the code on the platter is slightly corrupted, which basically makes it a paper weight, even I cant recover it.

If you use MaxBlast etc you should be able to get an indication of what the problem is. I take it this is not under warranty?
.

now i remmeber the "past stories" of this drive
40gig SAMSUNG
it is in the pc in my work
pre-installed in a hp pavilliion a312d with OEM
and two times i crushed the system, the company spend $50 to recover the important file plus $40 for the technician but never happen to survive the disk. so company invest to a new 80gig maxtor
im really get crazy, the drive cant read or detect even it is slave
but when i tried to a 2nd hand pc (my pc in the house) it detect the drive in a slave (maybe the motherboard of my pc is more or less 4yrs old) older than the one in the work = is there a explanation for that?

now im still in a "trial" session (as i said my time is limited as of now)
im still thingking, if the file are corrupted when i transfer them to my pc, normallly ill get the "cyclic error"
but when i want to transfer the music file from my slave to my master and im getting this "shit cyclic error"

i will inform you when i get through this

thanks a lot

im really really busy krell, my schedule in my work (as sales clerk) is really tight

what i just used is one of the cds and i dont know if it really help the Norton Disc Doctor (and im looking now for this Norton DD to install in my pc)

i tried to make this drive as a "external" (bought a philips enclosure for $20) :icon_blac
in the few days it works as good as ok but after that it works strangely
i connected it the USB to the pc here in my work and it takes 5min. to access the file so i thot it gave up already :icon_shak
then i take it out bring it in the house, and installed it back as a slaved, then when i turned my pc on
it takes 20min to load the windows :icon_scra . i have no time anymore coz i must go to my work
then the next morning i tried again to turn my pc on, it loads in normal as in no strange time delay and the HD accessible in no problem :icon_cycl

im really getting give up on this drive, im planning to buy this $40 new HD 40gig (but again its a samsung same as the above) i noticed that the 40gig HD are getting out of the market coz price drooppppsss

any more idea?

i can try all what you suggest (this miniPE) after this holiday season

Personally, I would buy a new not used hard drive, if the drive I have is more than 3 years old & start to giving me too much troubles. Hard drive has many moving parts, it will just break down sooner or later! I think now that newer hard drives today are getting cheaper & cheaper with larger storage capacity, saving time & money would be cheaper in the long run.

Agreed.

Take your time, you're too busy to be majorly impacted by this drive right now anyways.

When you get any free time, and a clear head, then hook it up as a SLAVE again on the IDE bus, not USB ok?

When you go to work on it, see if you can move just a folder at a time to another drive. I've had to fix various corruptions recently in which copying or moving files to another drive helped sort out the file structure problems.



Also, this for everyone, DONT USE more than 80% of your HD capacity.

If you see that you are down to 20% free space, buy a new drive, burn stuff to DVD, or panick. If you invade that space, Windows tried to move the small data streams in to the Master File Table, not good.

so this is what happen to my situation
i bought 80gig Seagate ide (i need to close my eyE :hi to pay $48) so i make partition for it using Acronis
all is fine for installing

File transferring from old samsung to a new seagate 12/31/06 9pm-11pm:
i bought a philips enclosure http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/supermediastore_1929_77369483 (before xmas) and i put inside the old samsung and i brought it here in my work to get some music file and movies i dl'd that are in 1st partition of the samsung
i transfered the "Program Files" all is fine there

i noticed now where is the problem:

i opened the folder music in the 3rd partition (the biggest partition), i tried to play some but its getting "hang" before it will play and its stop suddenly and it will play suddenly(its playing like that.

then i tried to transfer but its "hanging" then i cancelled
i tried to copy using Acronis but no luck i got this error http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.83be3c7cb7.jpg (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?83be3c7cb7.jpg)
and i trie to play the WTC movie DVD copy but when its getting finish its "hanging" also
So if im not mistaken the problem or disk error is in the 3rd partition
i will not yet junk my old disk as long i can use the first and the 2nd partition

i really tried all the suggestion of Rob but it cannot "recover"
The only shit here is "the 5gig music file that i cant recover" :@:

ill start again downloading....:icon_sunn


BTW, thanks to all who share their comments and suggestions
ill really appreciated them
THANKS

Good news

You have the ability to delete and create partitions in XP, you do not need Acronis.

I would blow away that partition, create a new one and Format NTFS.

Then do chkdsk on it.

Remember what I suggested about DL to one partition, then moving to another when the file completes?

ill check what i can with this
is it really a "must" for this?

[Krell]

Well, you have 2 choices.

Determine what the problem is with the existing partition

Blow it away and make a new one.

You have the utils on that CD to diagnose and repair some partition problems, so give them a try. XP will not be forgiving and will hang from now on until you resolve the issues.

It could be something as simple as a free space issue, but thats why I asked you to run the chkdsk :? /f/r

Whatever the bad partition drive letter is, run chkdsk on it and let it cook a while.

ok rob could you please give the "how" to blew the partition of this crazy samsung then i will format this

thanks and hope for oyur kind assistance

[Krell]

I am redirecting you BACK to that CD of happiness, to use Partition Magic 8 to redo the partitions.

Also, do an extensive test on it, that drive may just be on it's death bed after all.

Get this:

Hiren's BootCD 8.7 (http://www.9down.com/story.php?sid=8028)

Anyone who gets the "cyclic redundancy checkeck" please try CDcheck http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,22892-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html


Its a cool little program that will recover data from yours CD, DVD or hard drives. It has saved me a few times. Today it saved a very rare movie bootleg that I was lucky enough to get ahold of. Its not gonna be so rare anymore though!!! lol Im already uploading it for mass downloads! I have seen copies of VHS tapes (of this film) sell for over $100 on ebay and its a 1939 movie (hint search date! nova)! Why its not being released on DVD is beyond me. I myself had not seen it since like the early 80's when CBS use to show the late, late, late movies. I miss those. All night movies was cool. Now we get all night info ads about making ones penis bigger.

people, i dont know too much on the hard drive recovery scene, but i do know extensive knowledge about the cd/dvd burning scheme. its all in the cd/dvd media. if you burn with crappy media you get crappy results. the drive is irrelevant for the most part unless its getting old. also, the burning progs matter alot in that concern. i use imgburn for iso images and now sometimes even for files, its totally free. nero is also great for many things burning. good media is even more important than the program though, use ritek verbatim and ty dvd blank media and you will have no troubles. use cmc media (about all the brands that are on sale besides sony and verbatim). also the disc manufacturer is not necissarily who actually makes the media. memorex is the worst media there is for dvds, and cd arent to great either... heres a good place to start with dvd media and how great/horribel they are. http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/47 also, cd media there are many brands but the best are fujifilm. made in japan only. do some research. dont say cds and dvds are unreliable. if done correctly they are amazing.

[p4paji]

google and yahoo has almost same answer i got

the cd or dvd , flash drive is corrupt....

The music file is in my slave and i want to transfer them in my master drive or try to transfer them in my flash drive (some will transfer) but suddenly i always get this error messages:
"Cannot copy (shit): Data error (cyclic redundancy check) " and the rest will not transfer

anyone can give me any reason why is why? pleaseeeeeeee

my pornZ and some movies are save there but they play ok and i can transfer them anywhere and some programs are installed there and they work ok also

thanks in advance

its only because your disk is scratched.

Crc or cyclic redundancy check is a data intergrity checker in which a redundant code is added at the end of your data.this code is made from ur data.So if there is a change in ur data the crc check will result in an error you got.

Use tools such as Winhex(google for it), taht may solve your problem:icon_salu

If you havent tryed already use CDCheck 3.0 and scan the hard drive with it then sett output to a new clean drive. I had this happen to me to it was a pain in the ass only it happend with halo ce maps and halo fraps files,not music :D

it may take a while
but it works or at least it did for me and i love it
