| | It has become common problem in my office. Some floppies do not open in Windows XP and it shows error, Cyclic Redundancy check error, what does it mean ? If I use the same floppy on another computer having windows '98 it opens all the files and sometimes some of the files.
The same floppy when formated with windows XP starts working, which were showing the error earlier. |

well... this is something interesting, someone is still using floppy...  I was sure that floppy is dead thign while ago.. Anyway you may have a faulty diskette, and maybe the whole floppy disc reader is faulty... try to format that diskette, and run a scandisk on it, to se if it's faulty, if it's ok, then you probably got faulty floppy disc reader on that xp-computer, buy a new one - it's cheap - about 8-10$, maybe less...

Format floppy, save in RTF, I don't know the depth of the problem...how bout just saving your documents on email as an attachment so they can be opened or sent on or to any computer (RTF format) no probs involved. Lol if that solution seems childish then buy cd burners for all of your computers and use CD-RW's. Floppy's cannot be reliable anymore.

This has always been a problem when taking a disk formatted in an earlier windows to a newer windows. Sometimes the newer windows just won't read the formatting correctly. As far as I can tell, the only solution is to backup the disk's files and then format on WinXP, then restore the files.

I hardly use floppy disks nowadays since the USB flash memory drives are becoming more common (not to mention getting smaller AND holding more space). If all else fails, reformat the floppy. Otherwise, I wonder if copying the files from floppy to the HD while in DOS mode is an another option (before reformatting).

My opinion is that the machine with XP needs a new floppy. it's ceap to replace, but USB drives are so cheap, with the amount of disks you'll be using, they break so fast, it'd be cheaper to get even some old small flash disk.

Hi Binod Singh, The problem might be that the two OS versions format using different file formats. Win 98 uses "FAT32" file formatting & Win XP can be set up to format as "FAT32" OR "NTFS" file formatting. If Win XP is set up to use NTFS ... this can be the cause of your problem. You can use DOS utilities to see which file format your Win XP is set up to use. Win XP is "supposed to" be able to read all file types using the Win32 file format... but personal experience has shown that this is not always the case. If this doesn't solve your problem..then.. you will have to check out the possibility of bad hardware (ie. floppy drive). Floppy drives are easy to troubleshoot. If you need help.. you can go to my website for a step by step tutorial. Hope this helps RGPHNX

Hw2fix A Driver Error If Unable To Enter Windows?

At least I think thats what the problem is. Anyway i'll start at the beginning. I purchased a

Immediately after that blue screen errors started appearing on startup. The error message was this:
BAD_POOL_CALLER 0x000000c2 (0x00000007, 0x00000cd4, 0x11111111, 0x818CAC48) However this would only

Windows Xp - Clear Type
- (10)
While setting up my new machine last night... I stumbled upon a feature of Windows I have missed for
years. Right click on the desktop. Properties > Appearance > Effects... Check the box for "Use the
following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" and change it from "Standard" to "Clear Type"
Press OK Press Apply The text looks much crisper on my machine now. I run Windows at 1600x1200 on a
21" Trinitron. Webpages, icon text, everything seems much better than with "standard" smooth edges.
Check it out. You may really like it....
