The Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is basically a data verification method that detects accidental changes to raw data residing in the storage media. The CRC error occurs due to hard drive corruption, misconfigured files, registry file corruption, cluttered disk, unsuccessful program installation, or when there’s a bad spot on the storage media. CRC error is also a serious issue that must be resolved as soon as possible to avoid a system failure and data loss.

Here are few methods to fix the Cyclic Redundancy Check error:

  1. Run CHKDSK Utility Scan
  2. Run SFC Scan
  3. Use a data recovery tool

Hope it will help!
