Replies rand0mguy Posted at 7:26 pm on April 28, 2008 is it the "data error cyclic redundancy check". this is usualy a result of windows stuffing up while formatting or outlook stuffing up if so do the following. if not wat does the error acctualy say. ill give u the computer-moron version just incase lol. run command prompt by pressing windows key + r . type cmd and click ok. next type (without the speechmarks.. speechmarks are we in primary school.. quotation marks) "chkdsk /f" then press enter that will check the disc. if u get an error message saying it cant run type y and press enter. then restart. if no errors, cool. if that fix the problem cool. if not PM me
