dmw2692004 · 05-29-2006, 01:31 AM

I built a external HD through a cheap little kit that i piced up from best buy. The hard drive inside is was from my old desktop; Its a samgsum(not spelled properly) 160 gig 7.2k rpm, 8mb of cache. Its also hooked up to a dell laptop via USB 2.0. The problem is when i attpemt to copy files to a differnt location i get this message;

That error means that the data that is being transferred is corrupted.

Make sure your hard drive and cable are OK. Use Chkdsk or Scan disk to do a full hard drive scan. (A faulty IDE cable commonly causes CRC problems).

You could try taking the hard disk out of the caddy, and plugging it directly into a computer. It might help, worth a shot although it'll void the warranty so be careful.

My USB hdd wouldn't power up, its only a few months old but I took it apart and shoved it in my PC. Still works fine, wouldn't trust anyone with my data! Too much to lose.
