It's a checking procedure that quickly identifies when data has been damaged. Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum.īased on my research, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is bit of mathematics used to ensure that your data is OK when being transfered. :( Please does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can eith fix this or at the very least get me to the point where I can transfer all my data off the drive onto another? Thank you very much I really don't want to lose the hours spent riping all my CD's on to the drive. I don't know if this is important but my cat at one point knocked the drive over onto a hard surface a few days prior to the problem. The only two places it appears when it is plugged in is the dik management and in devices.

I have tried various programs to check the drive for bad sectors but the problem when even booting it directly from floppy (inc the drivers for the USB ports) the disk is not recongised as being there. So I tried to get the disk to inititialize but I got the Cyclic Redundancy Error Check. After various attemtps to plug back in, reinstall drivers Turbo USB etc I checked the Disk MAnagement and I could see the drive but it was not initialized. Every thing was fine until recently when I plugged in the hard drive and it did not appear. It installed perfectly fine on Vista and I was able to transfer all my music onto the larger drive (freeing up much needed space on my laptop).

A few months ago I purchased an external Buffallo Drive Station with Turbo USB (HD CEU2 - 500GB).
