Data error (cyclic redundancy check)in MS windows

Data error (cyclic redundancy check) error 0 files copied solution using Windows cmd

A cyclic redundancy check, or CRC error, indicates a bad spot on your hard drive. The fact that you see it when trying to copy a file indicates the bad block may be within the file itself.

If the problem is in the file itself, we start by making as best a copy of it as we can.

Once again, we want to copy the file to a different disk/path, this is best done within Command Prompt.

CD “C:<\YOUR FILE PATH>”

xcopy /c <FILE NAME> <DESTINATION PATH eg: D:>

xcopy means eXtended copy command,

“/c” switch, which keeps copying even if errors are encountered.

in-case it didn’t work we can attempt to repair the disk.

Run cmd as Administrator and try this,

C:\Users\Test>CHKDSK /f <source Partition name eg: D:>
