Problems with a FujiFilm CDR
Hi-
I decided to back up my C: drive using Norton Ghost 2003. I saved the image to 5 FujiFilm CDRs. Before I was done, I inspected all of the discs, and #2 seemed to have a visible media flaw - somewhat of a small shiny area about 4 mm from the outer edge. I don't see any bump on the label side. The disc is a FujiFilm color CDR - made in Japan (TY?) - a sticker on the label said 40X. My CD-RW is rated at 12X write. I tried copying disc #2 using Roxio Disc Copier, but it would always bomb due to an early read error (less than 10% into the disc). It doesn't sound like it's getting to the point where I see the surface flaw. I don't know if it just has problems copying a Ghost CD or if there really is a problem with the disc. Are there any means of verifying that the CDR has no errors? I'm running Windows ME, and I do have Norton SystemWorks 2003. I couldn't find anything that would allow me to verify a CDR for errors. At the worst, I could just redo the image. I've got plenty of blank CDRs. |

You can count errors with CD/DVD Diagnostic (linked from my site), but it needs to be registered for that. CDSpeed from Ahead may do it as well; I don't know how it works on data discs.

I have a few CDRs that I've burned only to find out the media may not be perfect, or there were pits/scratches on the read side I didn't notice before I burned them. I've also scratched a few CDs, and I'd like to see if the data is intact. I'm just looking for something that'll check the integrity - I don't know if there's parity or checksums encoded in CDR data. Just a follow-up. Perhaps my system is snake-bitten, but I couldn't get Nero's tools to work. I loaded CDSpeed 2.02, and it wouldn't recognize my CD drives. I was able to get the DOS version of CDSpeed to work, but it doesn't do a CD integrity check. I loaded CDCheck 3.0.1.43 - it would always crash about the time it completed. I mean - the entire OS went down and my screen went black. I left a bug report. |
