Hi Khalid, The CHKDSK utility in Windows XP is used to check the integrity of disk drives. I used to use CHKDSK back in my MS-DOS days and really haven't played with it to speak of under Windows XP, so you probably want to look up its help information, but I'm pretty sure it should help you sort out any corruption problems. This is probably a good time to do it since you said you don't have much information on the NTFS drive.

Is there a way to make sure of what might be the problem. THANKS Khalid ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher McMillan To: guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 3:31 AM Subject: [guispeak] Re: FAT32/NTFS Depending on what OS you use can you write from a FAT 32 to NTFS drive. NTFS Drives are for NT 4.0 2000 and XP Professional. If your OS is 95, 98 ME, it will not support an NTFS Drive.

I can read them, However, when I tried to copy all my personal data on the D drive I got an error msg. I'm baffled, I don't know what might the problem be.

Can I copy from a fat32 drive to a NTFS drive? My C drive is fat32 and my D drive is NTfs. I tried to copy from my C drive to my D drive but always I get the following msg: "Cannot create or replace -and the name of the folder- data error (cyclic redundancy check)" What does that mean? Is my D drive/hard disk corrupted?
