I am trying to backup my computer files, so that i can migrate my data to another laptop. I am just not able to copy my .pst files ( i have two files that i want to copy a) Outlook.pst its a 4.7 GB file and Archive.pst , its a 1.7 GB file. I have tried to use the pst backup tool from microsoft , i have tried to copy or move, i have tried to export from my current .pst file to a backup.pst but nothing works. While copying it gives a " Cannot copy, Cyclic redundancy Check" and the copying shuts down. What can i do ? |

That seems like quite a tricky error. A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a transmission error checking method. When data is sent from one place to another on a computer (or multiple computers) the sender computes a number that is derived from the data being sent. The sender and receiver both use the same formula to derive this number. So if the data doesn't change during transmission both the sender and receiver will compute the same number. The CRC is a check that the number stays the same at the transmitting and receiving ends. If this is not the case then the 'Cyclic redundancy check' error will pop up indicating that there was an error during transmission. So your CRC error means that the data is somehow being changed between when it is sent and received. There are a number of ways that this can happen, especially with very large files such as the ones you are using. Often the problem is a result of errors in the hardware (e.g. corrupted files on a hard drive). You probably should do a error check on your hard drive - in windows XP double click on my computer -> right click on the hard drive -> tools -> error checking. Now if we verify that the hard drive is ok the problem is likely that the data somehow gets altered during transmission. It's possible that outlook writes to this file while you're copying it over. What you probably want to do is ensure that outlook is not running in any form when you do this. I would start the computer in Safe Mode (hit F8 before windows starts and select safe mode) then copy the files from there (choose the with networking option if you want to copy over a network). If this still doesn't help then you should make sure that there are no errors in the transmission of the files (e.g. network problems). Try a different method of copying the files such as using a dvd-r or over a network. Verify that you can copy different files using this method. Hope these suggestions help. |
