cyclic redundancy error?

pivoxa15 · 12-05-2006, 04:24 AM

When I try to copy files from a CD-RW to the computer, an error is displayed called 'Cyclic Redundancy Error'. How can I fix this?

I haven't ever received this error from a CD, but on DVD. After extensive research I discovered with firmware upto date and drivers updated the simple explanantion is: Your drive don't like your disk.

So update the firmare and drivers if need be. What's the make and model of the drive you're having a problem with?

that means the disc is damaged/scratched etc

Usually, but I've had brand new discs that it's happened on. How old are the discs you're trying to read from.

In fact the disk that I am having troubles with does have a small scratch.

Will you be able to try another drive? A different drive may may more tolerable to the scratch. If it is a small one.
