CRC error

[choudang]

from the day before yesterday, i have gone with CRC error. i have some game CDs, when i trying to install, after sometime it comes with a error
CRC ERROR: x/x/xx.......... file is not match with the setup file ......... .... .. contact your ..... .... ..

how can i solve that prob, some the games are new.... like 1 week old and surface of the CDs are also fine, the files are copied to HDD easily without any prob......

CRC or Cyclic Retundancy Code error occurs when CD is not properly recorded,this type of error even if the cd is scratchless.

u may just try to copy the content to ur hdd before actually running the setup or try the same cd's in friend's rom. If nothing works..cd prolly gone wrong.

but, the qns is, when i installed Max Payne 2 in November it was a clean installtion, but yesterday.. i got that error.... forget about other 3 games.... those are new... but what about MP2.. first time it was clean but second .. got the CRC...

Hmm see prolly this can happen if the cd has gone bad or is ur disk. Y not try em in diff cdroms?

[Techie_Geek]

may be either the cd has grown scratches, or the cd rom require cleaning.

but as these are copied cleanly , try installing from the hard disk

if u are authorised to do this, u can also make virtual cds in expert mode and try mounting them on a virtual drive

either ur cd has got scratches on it's surface or ur cd-rom is faulty.Try cleaning the lens of cd-rom

m trying to install it frommy HDD, the error is follows....

CRC error: The file D:\Rockstar Games\Max Payne 2\MP2_Levels_A.ras does not match the file in the setup's .cab file. The medium  from which you are running the setup may be corrupted; contact youe software vendor

*: If my CD is damaged, i won't be able to copied all the files to my HDD.

*: if my cd-rom is faulty, how ome it reads other files without prob.

*. i have installed from same media on last November, that was a clean one.

i have a question: How can we extract the contents of a Setup file? like nVidia setup, you can extract the files to HDD.

sir
it is cyclic redundacy check

[Kniwor]

yeah itś cyclic redundancy check,

u can use ¨isobuster¨ to get thise files,burn it on another CD and see if it helps

There is no way that u can get setup to work if u get crc even after copying them to hdd. Successful copying to HDD indicates that there is no problem watsoever with the disk. The problem somehow got created during packing the file to cd or writing the file. Only way out if..... get another cd...

[choudang]

yes.. thats the final step, i'm already making it.
