I have a problem with CRC failed on a lot of files that I download and with files that I burn onto CDs.

When I download files I have to do it again and again untill the file passes the CRC check and is ok.

The same CRC problem I have with files I burn on CDs, the files written do not match the ones that were on the hard-disk and are corrupted (well, not all of them, but it happens often).

First I thought it was because on the NTFS, now I went back to FAT32 but still the same problem. I use WIN XP SP1, and I have a 1 GHZ Duron, 256 DDRAM, Matsonic VIA KT266A, GF52000, have all the windows updates, no viruses and the VIA service pack installed.

Please give me some advice, I feel like wrecking my PC right now after downloading a corrupted 1 GB file :P

Try running CHKDSK /R from the recovery console on the boot. Note space between K and /. Sounds like you have some bad clusters on the hd.

Please post back within 24 hours or I will delete the post from my follow up list. Thanks.

1GB file is way too huge! No way to fix the file except to download it again - unless the source file itself is bad.

I don't really care about fixing that download as much as I want to solve the problem, the chkdsk didn't help, the harddrive has been relatively recent formatted as it's a 160gb IDE Seagate. It's also frustrating to burn CDs with corrupted data.

Thanks for the help so far, do you have other suggestions?
