Is there an easy way to confirm that image files are correctly copied to another hard disk without actually opening/confirming every one of them?
I was recently burned by using a Bytecc IDE->USB2 adaptor and most of the transferred files were found to be corrupted. One dumb move followed another and the damage was compounded before the error was discovered… Not the ‘end of the world’ but it’s left me feeling *very* insecure about transferred data that appears to be ok but is not!
So.. what utilities/techniques can insure that data transferred is successful? CD/DVD burning software such as Nero(pc) and Toast(mac) offer a ‘verify’ option. But dragging 100Gb of data from an internal HD to an external USB2 or Firewire drive does not offer the same confirmation tool.
Any Windows XP recommendations are appreciated.
