MS Outlook is one the most popular email clients. However, sometimes it is hard to manage when an error occurs while working with MS Outlook. If you are an expert then surely you can overcome such problem easily. If you are unaware how to resolved error “File could not be accessed. Data error. Cyclic redundancy check.” Then I would like to suggest before you deal with such errors, you need to know the reasons for that error so, that we can find some appropriate solution. I am discussing one of the common problems that I have faced.

Let’s have a brief introduction with the error:
“File xxxx.pst could not be accessed. Data error. Cyclic redundancy check.”
Or:

When you try to download emails to your local computer, you may get the error message:

Also, it might be possible that you cannot view some of the downloaded emails.

This issue may occur if your PST file is corrupted.

Resolution:
To resolve this issue you need to:

• Check Your Hard Disk for Errors

To work deal with this issue, firstly you need to run the check disk command to “check your hard disk “for any errors”. After using this command check if the problem still persists.If yes then, proceed to the next step.Re-create Your Personal Folder File Then, use the Inbox repair tool (scanpst.exe) that will let you scan and repair the corrupted files.

Well this is a brief introduction only, in my next post I am going to elaborate the all these step and also, I am going to discuss some advance solutions that will prove helpful to deal with the above error, if the “Inbox repair tool” fails.
