All,
When copying a CD to HD, I received a Redundancy Check error on a folder.
Started again. all OK.
This is not the first time.
Earlier, I burned the CD on cheap media.
The HD (Maxtor 120 Gig) is new.
The other hardware has been operating fine for about a year.
Does anyone know the cause, or shall I keep experimenting?
Thanks, Rick

Could be that the Cd disk itself is crap or damaged?

Yes, it could. I'll keep messing with it ... different brand CDs, reading
from my burner, etc.
And, I can switch back to the old HD.
Also, this HD has McAfee Firewall and VirusScan.
Maybe, in addition to slowing things down in to a crawl, it has something to
do with this issue.
Thanks for your reply, Rick

Well for starters I'd get fully get rid of McCrappee.
Free AVG for AVP,

and ,"Outpost" for Firewall,

I would try using the same media to burn the same thing on 2 discs,
one after the other, with enough data to nearly fill the media to
capacity. Burn one at the highest speed possible and the other at a
far lower speed, then compare their readability... many media don't
burn well at > 32X.

There are some freeware utilities on the 'net that can check discs for
error rates. I don't recall the names of any such programs at the
moment but a Google search should find some.
