EMAX 'DATA CRC ERROR' when trying to copy software/format disk

EMAX 'DATA CRC ERROR' when trying to copy software/format disk

2008-09-04 by th3b4r0n

First post! Hello to all of the other EMAX users. I recently picked up 
a pre SE EMAX 1 and was looking for info about upgrading the OS when I 
stumbled across this group. I was delighted to find out that an image 
of an SE upgrade disk is available and went about creating one for my 
EMAX straight away! Unfortunately I'm having a problem trying to format 
disks/copy softwre with the new OS.

I managed to make and SEupgrade disk for it using the info and links in 
the Files section. It's updated the EMAX and when I re-boot with this 
disk the EMAX loads OS SE 1.1. 

When I try and copy the software or format a disk the machine tries to 
read the source disk and after displaying 'Just a Moment....' for a 
while it prompts 'DATA CRC ERROR!'

If I boot with the OS 3.2 I can still format disks and copy software 
with no errors.

So, I formatted a disk unsing OS 3.2 and then overwritten the OS SE 1.1 
from my computer using EMXP. The disk boots the machine but I get the 
same 'DATA CRC ERROR!' when trying to copy software/format disk.

Does anybody have any idea how I can fix this issue?

Not sure if i understand you ;

the software OS exists only on the disks, as you seem to be aware of.
so you have to copy the OS to your other sound disks, in doing this i 
belive Emax will have to read the Source disk first ( the new SE OS ), 
BEFORE  you insert the destination disk. So first an SE disk, then start 
the Os copy/ format process, wait untill asked for a destination disk,
OR The disk can be broken.

Thanks for your reply. I have been trying to copy the software in the 
normal way but the EMAX just can't read it properly. I think the disk 
must be broken. I have noticed today that sometimes the screen 
display goes crazy displaying wierd charachters when I'm trying to 
access different modules whilst running OS SE1.1. Perhaps I should 
try and upgrade it again? Looks like it's bye bye to the beat I just 
made! lol!

I sure hope I haven't broken it!....

I had same problem with a disk. I found this on the web:
 
What does (CRC) 'cyclic redundancy check error' mean?
 











  
There are plenty of technical resources on the Web that discuss cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs). Most times you won't need to worry about this technobabble. That is, until one it day it suddenly appears and you think - what the hell does that mean? In simple terms, a CRC is bit of mathematics used to ensure that your data is OK when being transfered. It's a checking procedure that quickly identifies when data has been damaged. If you get this message, it means that the file being read by your PC or software is corrupted. However, it does not mean all the data is lost forever. When data is transfered, it is usually in small blocks and each block is given a CRC value. If something goes wrong with the data between the time it leaves the source and arrives at its destination, the CRC sent at the source will no longer match the one that is calculated when the data arrives - this is when the cyclic redundancy check error will appear.

My experience with the CRC error is that it typically appears on 
floppies that aren't true DS/DD disks (like a force formatted HD 
diskette) or it is a disk that was created using a PC floppy drive that 
doesn't actually support DS/DD disks (most modern floppy drives)
