Next, click ' Check Now ' under ' Error Checking '. Running the CHKDSK Utility Step 1: Right-click the target drive you want to check, and then click Properties->Tools. So far all I've tried is checking the disc via Windows (Drive>Properties>Tools>Error Checking). Data Error Cyclic Redundancy Check Fix/Repair Method 1. So, here are the steps for using this utility. It is actually easier to use as compared to the Chkdsk method. Windows has a Check Disk Utility as well which can easily be used from My Computer. (I'm afraid I have to deal with a 7Mb/s connection). Once the scan is finished, log into the Windows and check if the issue is resolved. Furthermore I'd like to know if it's possible for me to recover/redownload the corrupted/missing files, as downloading the entire torrent would take me quite a while. I'm wondering if the error is something to look into or even contact the laptop's manufacturer about, as I've seen a few older forum posts (2007-2009 mostly) referencing to broken HDD's.
After a few minutes of checking the files, uTorrent came up with the following error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
#Windows data error cyclic redundancy check install
During my second attempt to install the files the installer however came up with an error stating that it was unable to read one of the files, after which I decided to check the files in uTorrent. After a while the installation sadly caused itself as well as Windows Explorer to become unresponsive, causing me to forcefully restart my computer. After succesfully finishing a rather large download (42,2GB), I attempted the installation of the downloaded software.
