I'm running Win2k (sp3, plus a bunch of hotfixes) on my work laptop.

I'm trying to copy a VMWare image to a 'safe' network location, but part way through the file copy it bombs out and gives me an error about cyclic redundancy checks.

I'm getting a bit anxious This is a temporary laptop, since my last one got stolen... I've only just managed to recover what I could from several week's worth of lost data. (It turns out that in the current office location, Veritas runs but doesn't actually back up anything. It's a long story, but let's just say I was not pleased when I found out I had lost so much data).

So anyway - I've got a sinking feeling that this temporary (old) laptop is on it's way out. I've got our IT guys on the case and they are looking at getting me a new hard-drive.

Meantime, is there anything else that could be causing this?

Cheers!
Dan.
