Gaming A bug that does not make sense

[Bean_BR]

well, I use Windows XP and this is what occurs:
1- I try put the Okamiden clean rom on my sdcard
2- the Windows explorer freezes on the folder that I try to put the rom (wtf???

)
3- and what doesn't make sense, is that this doesn't occur when I put the patched rom (or any other file)

can someone explain to me why this happens ?

If Explorer is having trouble reading either from the source or the destination (e.g. because of a bad block/sector), that will cause the window to freeze (I/O error).

Frst, try again to make sure that it actually doesn't work... then try scanning the SD and the drive for errors.

i have tried two times (and I restarted the pc, because there was no response from the explorer on that folder)
i'll try downloading the rom again to see if the problem isn't in the file
and thanks for your help

After that, just be a little patient. Sometimes, when I copy a rom to my card, it freezes a bit, then after like 30 seconds, it unfreezes and it's finished copying.

what happens with this rom, is that the "progress bar of copying" doesn't fill and when I hit the cancel button the explorer freezes on that folder but this doesn't happens with the patched rom or other file... maybe the file is the problem ? I'll try other rom (but the same game)

other file and same problem

I waited and received a error
I think the problem is between my computer and Okamiden
oh, and my sd card is very hot (unusual)

 

[Originality]

If it's more than one file, then there's a very good chance it's the SD card that's having I/O problems.

Also, an SD card is not supposed to get hot. I've only encountered hot SD cards that are fakes (using compression to fit 8GB on a 4GB chip) or at the end of their life (failing parts causes resistance in the electronics which means heat... which means faster deterioration and a short remaining lifespan).

That is the Okamiden's new AP. It Freezes your Windows Explorer

now, I used the patch on the rom and the copying process was a sucess...so the problem is with the clean rom...
seriously, this DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE (fu** you, explorer)

Your ava is annoying.. also what type/brand SD card is it?

nobody cares about the avatar... it's a Kingston MicroSD 2 GB

His avatar is totally relevant to the conversation. Your avatar is stupid.


In seriousness, though, try wiping the entire card. The thing could be corrupted. I've had it happen to me before.

Yeah, if other ROMs copy fine, it's probably a hard drive problem rather than SD. I've been having a similar problem; my HDD is in its later stages of life, and I've been working on backing up my anime and such to an external drive, but roughly two out of every ten files give me an I/O error, and it's driving me nuts. Stuff I just downloaded and played a week ago is doing it.

But yeah, try running a disk check utility and defrag the drive. Could just be a small problem you'll never encounter again, or your hard drive could be in the early stages of failure. Better safe than sorry.

I have sent my pc for repair some times and I remember now that the repair guy said my HD was "dying".Better I do a backup of the hard drive soon.

You can get a quick report from the SMART. of the HDD using a tool like SpeedFan. It can give an indication as to how unhealthy your HDD actually is.
