But it was really slow (again, this is a 536k file). Eventually, I got a Windows error saying that "an i/o device error" prevented the file from copying. I was able to delete from my desktop the copied file. I used 7-zip (a freeware winzip compatible) and tried to compress the msnmusic.exe file. It got to about the 35% mark and just bogged down (again, for a 536k file, the zip should have been near instantaneous). Finally, a message saying "the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error." This was a message from 7-zip. When I doubleclicked on the msnmusic.exe file in hopes of launching it, things just hung for a while, but then my system seemingly returned to normal. So what do I do now? Does XP have some way of detecting the corrupted file sector links you mention? Is this a media error or an error in the file/folder structure of my computer?
