I have a set of about 40 CDR's that contain about 15 file folders each. Each file folder is a collection of 10 mp3 files. When I try to transfer the file folders to my hard drive, I can only copy the first 5-7 folders, then I get an error that says "Cannot copy file, cyclic redundancy error." WHY?? How can I transfer the rest of the files? This problem is consistent on every disc, and on several computers I've tried.

From your error explanation it appears the CD's you have were a "bad burn" and you just won't be able to get all information from them. Just get what you can and try to replace what files/folders you can't copy from them. There is really nothing you can do to "fix" the CD's.

Cyclic redundancy errors are usually due to a scratched or dirty disk or an encrypted disk that was not meant to be copied.

This can also be from using poor Quality Software that dosen't Verify your burn and thus bad burn.
