Cyclic Redundancy Checking (CRC) - error.
That is, when the CRC values for a file do not match, that file is corrupt.
The Note that when the CRC value listed for a file within the image file
differs from the calculated CRC value for the same file on the disk or
partition, the corruption might have occurred while creating file. If so,
creating a new file could resolve the problem.
However, the corruption might instead have occurred due to reading from or
writing to a bad sector on the disk or partition. Bad sectors provide
inconsistent results when written to or read from.
It is the possibility of Bad Sectors and the increasing number of them that
makes me believe that the disk drive is 'on the way out'.
I cannot see how SP2 would be the culprit or else you would be seeing the
same problems on all Hard Drives.
