Either way, the writing zeros options is the best shot. In this case, the link is drive to drive, so it has to be either a bad drive or sector, corrupt data, or a bad usb port or usb driver. This means It could simply be corrupted data too, but usually it has to do with the link. type chkdsk C: /f, where C is the disk and f will fix errors on the disk. CRC failures occur at Layer 2 - DATA LINK as frames at the packet level of the OSI 7 layer model. So unless I want to sit there everytime and manually copy and paste a drive across this peice of hardware is useless. So, on one hand it may be possible that some of the files you saved from the disk are corrupted also on the safe copy, and you have the option to use cmd on the drive.

Surely this product is built to run on windows? I asked if they had ever experienced this problem and she advised that no it is not known to there technical department. Besides preventing us from copying files, accessing hard drive data, or initializing a hard disk, the data error detected by cyclic redundancy check will. They just did the old chestnut - “It must be a Microsoft problem” What the … Hey look it probably is Microsoft/Vista but surely if it is a known issue they would try and come up with a fix or some sort of instructions. Most of the file on the disk (of which there are 50,000) copy fine, but just 3 very small files will not copy. I have done chkdsk /f on both the new C drive and on the WD PP drive and there are no bad sectors.

Dont expect any help there - well that was my experience anyway. I am trying to copy those files using windows xcopy function and getting the data Error (cyclic redundancy check) error. I did contact their support on the 1800 number for Australia. Did you work out what the problem was? I have the same problem.
