SWAT 4 - CRC Missmatch

[ShadowTM]

Well Guys,

After solving my previous problem I'm yet again star-struck about another error that awaited me after reinstallation of Windows 7. Recently I downloaded a game (SWAT 4 Limited Edition) and tried to install it... All went well. I then tried to install the SIMS 3 and afterwards... Let's just say nothing worked. I burnt my SWAT 4 onto disc so I tried to reinstall it from that... No luck so I tried it from the setup I had from my HDD... No luck. So I decided to reinstall Windows 7... First attempt... No luck... Second Attempt... Success. I then tried to install my SWAT 4 from the disc I had as I formatted my HDD and well... No luck. Anyhow, I downloaded it again and tried to install it incase my setup became corrupt before I burnt it to disc... Success... The setup eventually passed the marker that was stopping it previously however it caused another error:

I've read about the internet on CRC errors and honestly couldn't understand most of it so I decided to ask you guys (again). I've checked my cables which connect my HDD to my motherboard and noticed that two of the pins on one of my HDD's were pushed in more and another one was bent (thought this could be the problem) so I unplugged it and tried again... No luck. I then noticed that there was apart of my HDD power cable that was sticking out of the container so I decided to replace that with a few more I had free around my tower and well... I don't have to say what happened. But yeah... Right now I'm rather stuck about what to do... Any advice?

Sounds like you have corrupt data, possibly from a bad or failing disk. Yes, a bent pin will also wreak havoc. But if your pins are straight (and not broken off), try running chkdsk as admin from the command prompt. If you OS is hosed, then you can boot off of BartPE, Knoppix or other OS/utility to check disk.

Hey,

I've solved the problem by simply ignoring the warnings and placing the file their manually from a friend. Anyhow, I unplugged the HDD and I'm still getting the problem... I tried to stand the pin back up and all's well on that HDD using chkdsk so I have no clues.
