Don't you just love the stupid error messages you get with computers. I mean why don't they actually say what they mean
What for example do you suppose data cyclic redundancy error actually means? well it actually usually means there's a problem reading a CD/DVD the data is broken into small sections and given a data number, if this comes up wrong when reading the PC gives you an error message, but why not just say can't read CD/DVD? That at least would make sense to normal people.
I watched another photographer spend a morning shooting tethered last week (tethered= camera connected directly to computer and pics show up on screen when taken), only to find after 2 hours none of his photos had actually been saved to the computer. Oh it did try to tell us with an error message, but it was so obscure it didn't actually tell us anything we could understand, and just to confuse things he'd had exactly the same error message before but on that occasion it had saved the pictures perfectly so no clue as to what it really meant.
Come on computer nerds give us error messages that make sense.... we know where you live!
