Utility needed to Verify ISO image with burned disc
Dear Gurus,
I understand that there are some CD-burning softwares which have built- in verifying routines to verify the burned disc with the ISO image file. However, I am looking for a stand-alone utility that can do the same thing. Which is, taking an ISO-image file on the hard disk, and verify it with a CD (or DVD) that is inside a CD/DVD drive. Is there such a utility available? All suggestions are most welcome ! Thank you for reading. |

There's been a DOS command around for a very long time called File Compare. If you want to learn about it, I'm sure there are multitudes of web pages "out there", to visit. If you go to a DOS prompt, you can type "FC /?", without the quotation marks, and it'll give you a list of commands and switches, i.e..., /A You can navigate to where the .iso image is and type "fc /b ????.iso X:\????.iso" where X = disc drive with iso image on it. I'm sure there are programs out there that will do it graphically, but again, I don't like alot of superfluous software on my computer. Perhaps a portable version might be available. Good luck. Al I thank you for the reply. I do know about the "FC" command and do use it frequently. However, FC is only used for comparing FILE to FILE. What I am looking for is a utility that can compare an ISO image file (xyz.ISO) to a burned CD/DVD based on the same ISO image file. |

What I am looking for is a utility that can compare an ISO image file (xyz.ISO) to a burned CD/DVD based on the same ISO image file. "A burned CD/DVD" *is* a file. At least on reasonable OSes. E.g., did you try \\.\M: ? If Windows does not support this, one can just make an ISO image from the disk, and use FC (or diff). Hope this helps, Ilya P.S. In my experience, byte-per-byte comparison is not relevant. At least, I never saw a disk which could be read byte-per-byte, but the result would differ from what it is supposed to be. Disks with some unreadable sectors - a plenty (a hundred?); but if fully readable, then correct. |

Sonic Record Now and some other programs that I have used include some identifying information in the .ISO file. Perhaps another format would give the same result every time I made an image, but can't switch from .ISO. In particular, making an ISO file from the same real or virtual CD gives different results each time, so a simple compare doesn't do the job. (The differences may be as little as the equivalent of: "This ISO image was made at ...." but the file compare programs that I use stop on the first difference for binary files. If there is only a single difference in the ISO files I could look around for other compare programs. Hope this helps, Ilya ... |

In particular, making an ISO file from the same real or virtual CD gives different results each time Then the probrams you use are broken. ISO image is just a copy of the DVD (or of "the 2048-sectors" of CD). All copies should be the same. (And I expect that \\.M: would be always the same as well...) Hope this helps, Ilya |

thing. Which is, taking an ISO-image file on the hard disk, and verify it with a CD (or DVD) that is inside a CD/DVD drive. If the source is an ISO image (or other image formats), you could use ImgBurn to burn+verify.

Do you think the ISO or the CD are somehow going to change over time or do you want to just verify after burning the ISO to the CD that they really are the same things? What ISO burning software are you using now and have you no confidence in it? ImgBurn if free and easy: http://www.imgburn.com/ It will burn your ISO, verify it when it is done and then you can use it again minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, later just to verify the ISO and CD still match using the built in Verify function. If you suspect that and feel a need to verify some ISO and a burned CD, you may have some other problem. You might want to look at some other burning software that has all this stuff built in. |
