for some reason when I burn cd's now, a lot of the time I get cyclic redundancy errors. ??? Dunno why. help?
run chkdisk on your hard disk, another possibility is your drive is going bad. try burning at a lower speed.
I need to make backup of the HDD which means burning CD's "the problem ones" and dvd's "work and burn fine" I always burn at 4x :-\ My hdd can't be going bad. Can't afford it. Its only 4?years old Oh, its a panasonic? burner, only 1 year old, burnt about 150 disks. +/-
if it burns DVDs fine then it sounds like your burner is going bad. Try burning a CD at 2x and see if it's any better. Also, do be careful with that hard disk, my system disks are 4 years old and one of them has already dropped below an acceptable performance level. The other has had slightly less use so I'm using that for now. Defragging/reformatting doesn't help in this case and it will die sooner or later. One of my friends is experiencing the same issues on his 3 year old drive, and several of the computers at the company my dad works for are exhibiting similar symptoms.
I know crap wears out fast, thats why i'm always in there cleaning and such. and I chkdisked it came out fine. is there a program that burns 2x? PowerIso doesnt seem to. drive cost me almost $100 And i need to make about an 8dvd hdd backup to try to keep all my special settings. Edit: rechecked, probably burned about 300 disks. Forgot the big packs are 100 correct? Edit: forgot to mention the cyclics are upon trying to copy all the data from the disk back to the HDD regardless of which drive the cd is in. PowerIso will only verify dvd burns and not cd's "probably because of this error thing" So I manuall try copying the data back over into a test folder. To check integrity. thats when the error happens. DeJaVu, think i typed this already.
