Sadly, this means there is probably an error on your drive. The computer can't read the part of the disk that the file is on. You might want to try some recovery software and buy a new hard drive because your drive might fail all together soon. This has happened to me twice.
Cyclic Redundancy Checking (CRC) is a mathematical method for checking the validity of data sent over networks and read from storage devices such as hard and optical drives.

A Google search of Cyclic Redundancy Checking will reveal a plethora of articles written on this topic; so many in fact that attempting to create an in-depth answer without plagiarizing is difficult.

What is CRC?

A Cyclic Redundancy Check is done as a first attempt to prevent corrupted data.


Cyclic redundancy check error?

A cyclic redundancy check error or CRC error occurs when the data verification value is a redundancy. This is used in detecting common errors caused by noise in transmission channels.


Where can one find more information about cyclic redundany checks?

A cyclic redundancy check is a piece of computer code used to ensure that raw code has not been updated. Further information can be found on the cyclic redundancy check Wikipedia page.

Error detection at data link layer is achieved by?

Error detection at data link level is achieved by using a Frame Check Sequence (FCS) method like Parity, Checksum Calculation or Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).


Is the cyclic redundancy check better than hamming code?

It depends on what you are doing. The cyclic redundancy check will only detect an error, while the hamming code can also correct many types of errors. However to perform this correction the extra error detection parity bits required in hamming code are many more than the bits needed for cyclic redundancy check, per data byte being checked. Normally cyclic redundancy check is done on large block of data that can be resent or retried to get the correct block of data (e.g. telecommunication channels, disk sectors). Normally hamming code is done on individual bytes or words of computer memory.

What is a cyclic redundancy?

This is where Windows cannot read a disk consistently. Windows will first read a bit of data from the disc, copy it, and then check again to make sure that the copy matches the original. If it does not, it tries again. if it still cannot get a consistent reading (after about ten tries), it will throw a "cyclic redundancy error" message.
