cyclic redundancy check

[ron]

Hi
I'm trying to copy an Excel file from one drive to another and get the
message cyclic redundancy error.
Can anyone tell me what this means?
Thanks

Yep..

Looks like your target drive is kaput.

It happens most often on floppy-disk and
directwrite CD-Roms, but can happen on harddisk.

But it's time for some housekeeping !

Sub HoueKeeping()
chkdsk WITHOUT THE REPAIR.

if problem=true then
BACKUP your Files.
endif
if problem=true and backup=done then
chkdsk WITH repair
defrag
endif


if not Problem=solved then
if money=enough then
buy new disk
copy (good) files from original
else
backup!
format
restore
endif
end if
end sub

<grin>
sorry..
