I have hundreds of PDF files with page counts ranging from 1 to 800 pages in the files. In the last week I started a project to copy those files to another drive. In the course of doing so, about 15 files will not copy. Windows XP comes up with a "Cyclic Redundancy Error". Further, when I open the problem file in Reader - I find that one or more pages will not load (I get an error message like ERROR 14 -- not very helpful). AND, the affected files will not print either.

Thinking that the copying process itself may have something to do with it, I stopped copying and started checking the files by opening them up in Reader - Nope - the error cited above still happens and the file will not print.

1) What is going on?
2) Any way to recover the information?

HELP!!
