Character Corruption For Example - ogg to oŧg & .ogg to Įogg

<< < (2/2)

dreamlayers:
Data on disk is protected by error correction and detection codes, and disks are supposed to report read errors.   This is almost certainly something else such as corruption in circuitry (eg. bus, memory) or a software bug.

In the corruption groups noted, if pasted as UTF-16, it seems that the high byte gets changed from 00 to 01 when these errors happen.   That means if there is a hardware error, the bus or storage location is a multiple of 16 bits wide. 

You can compare data files with utilities such as fc /b in Microsoft operating systems.  A few flipped bits might not be obviously audible in MP3 files.

Hi dreamlayers!

I think you got it.

I found during the playback test in my previous post. I was getting audible glitches in a few of the files.

So I bit the bullet & reformatted the HDD and started over. But halfway during a 57min transfer of my music. The transfer stopped with a I/O error.

I then checked the disc manually. No filename corruption, but a lot of the music was unrecognisable when I tried to play it.

Here is part of the output on FC /B on a file that was transferred before the stop error, that was scrambled when I tried playing it:-

Looks like I have a hardware problem. As it is over 2 years old & I haven't been that gentle with it, I suppose it had to come.

As this was an insurance replacement for my first X5L whose HDD died when a hotel staff member, after a series of perfectly timed set of coincidental events that Buster Keaton would have been proud of, drop kicked into a wall. After which it gave a on boot HDD dead error

As I still have my first X5L. If the I/O on my current one has died. prehaps I can use it's HDD to get my first one going again. (Assuming I can find all the bits after I took it apart to see what was inside ;D)

Thanks for all the help everyone :)
