Cyclic Redundancy Check error??? wtf? (1 Viewer)

[MuffinMan]

I dont understand why i have this kinda error
1. my disc is not scratched
2. it was working fine a few months ago, so i couldnt have burnt it improperly
3. i havent used it for 3 months so i couldnt have scratched it or did any damages...


cd check takes ages
any ideas on the causes?

Try some different disks in the drive. If you get the same error, it's a hardware problem - try cleaning out the CD drive, checking that all the cables are connected right, and/or replacing it.

The most obvious solution is a damaged disk. Try the disk that gives the CRC error in a different drive. If it still stuffs up, it's the disk that's damaged. If it doesn't, then you probably have a faulty CD drive.

Apart from that, not much comes to mind.

yeah go get cd check, it has a media rating system for dvds

mine turned out:

manufacturer: bad
media: bad

prolly thats why

yeah cause like other discs which was burnt with the same media died as well :-/
moral of the story: never buy bulkpak +/-r dvds

Haha 50c each. Now I pay a bit more and buy the TDK ones ($40 for 50).

CD-Rs, I use TDK or Verbatim. Both aroudn 40c/disc.
