kazual90 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 I am having a problem with my floppy saying cyclic redundancy check. I went to copy to my C drive through a cmd prompt, made the same noise of just chugging along and then gave me a "Data Error (cyclic redundancy check) 0 files copied.My hard drive crashed last week and trying to get a lot of stuff back, which has not been easy even after spending $800 so far. Anyway, these disks are Quicken and I have my business out of my home so my life is Quicken. I backed up the files onto 3 disks, they were fine, now i'm getting the cyclic redundancy check error.Can anyone help or am I in for a LONG WINTER with redoing everything? Thank goodness I have a regular check book for business and personal and have all my invoices printed out but we're are talking a years worth of stuff.Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

echobay Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Hi Ikazual90...i am by no means an expert around here...Your post did intrigue me...Were you looking for definition of cyclic redundancy check error or method to extract data? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kazual90 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Hi. No, i found meanings for the error, which do upset me but i am looking for a way to extract the data and then BURN the disk. Now, my big thing is that I can "see" the file on the A drive through my file list but it doesn't open. the drive just goes chugga, chugga, chugga. Now it's not the drive, I have done other things in the last 24 hours with the A drive and I have taken the disk to 2 other computers in the house and they all come up with the same error.

kazual90 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 okay, downloaded that CRC last night after surfing and found it. Not helpful. Comes up with failed check and passed check with no info in there so i don't know what it's telling me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nerelda Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Well I hate to tell you this, but when this was my issue, I NEVER got the information of the disk.....it was gone....cablooie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kazual90 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 If anyone wants to get stuff off a bad floppy, this is SO the site to go to. http://www.jufsoft.com/badcopy/floppy_recovery.aspTo analyze and find out if you can restore, it is a free download but to actually restore it and save it, it's 40bucks. Trust me, WELL worth it. I now have my QUICKEN back about 90%. there's a few N/A for payee and invoice information but that might take a few hours to fix instead of a few weeks to correct.thanks everyone for your help!

jdaytona Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Running windows built in scandisk usually works without paying any cash. Windows98 scandisk works the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nerelda Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Running windows built in scandisk usually works without paying any cash. Windows98 scandisk works the best. Scandisk is fine when checking for disk errors, but not for getting the files off the disk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
