A CRC error can occur if the file you are copying happens to reside on a defective sector. The data on the bad sector is effectively undefined (would come back random every time the head tries to read it). If you are seeing more CRC errors as time progresses, this is an indication that your hard disk is failing.
Start backing up and looking for a new drive. Jam it back in, in the dark.

The problem with HDD Regenerator is that you are paying $60 for a feature that already exists in the firmware of you hard disk. Sector remapping occurs transparently by the disk's controller the moment a defective sector is written to.
Chances are all this program does is attempt to read a defective sector, and then write back to it which triggers the reallocation mechanism in the drive's firmware. This is not an amazing restorative technique--its the way a modern hard disk is supposed to function. There's nowhere I can't reach.
