Segmentation fault

[straightv6]

i'm trying to copy some files from one partition to another and in th middle of copying i get a "Segmentation fault"
what do i need to check?

 

[straightv6]

it's on a wd 160 gig hd.
the files are located on hdc3, ext2 and i'm trying to cp them to hdc4, reiserfs

 

[straightv6]

i have no clue

i read somewhere it could be a problem with my ram. i don't have a floppy drive, so apparently i can't run memtest86. are there any other programs i could use to test it?

If you get the ultimate boot cd, it comes with memtest86, I think. Or download the mepis livecd, that also comes with memtest. I can find links if you need them.
