When I first loaded over 800 songs on my HP Compaq, they all loaded fast and with no problem. Now, I can only load 1.5 of the 6 disk that I previously had on it. I also had to reformat my machine. However; I have 2 computers, the other computer loaded all of the disk one song after the other in no time flat. So, I wondering too what's going on here? The only difference that I can see is the other computer has more ram than the compaq. But at one time it did download all of these songs and now I'm getting that stupid cyclic redundancy error; whatever that is suppose to mean. I would also like to know exactly what ram is used for and what is sdram. What is the dirrerence between the two? Can anyone help? The Compaq has 112 MB of Ram, the other HP has 248. Could that be the difference? And why did the Compaq load them before? I'm really baffled.
Thanks,
Starflite.
I recently took all of my mp3 files and backed them up on cd's before reformatting my hard drive. When I went to copy the music back onto my hard drive some files copied just fine while others freeze up or produce the error: "Data error" cyclic redundency check". Are all of these songs damaged permanently? Can anyone help?
