is there a quick way of checking cd’s?

I sometimes accidentally leave bunches of my CD’s in places where they may be damaged (in hot cars, for instance), then worry about whether the data on them has been corrupted.

I could check by opening every image on them in Photoshop, but that would take ages. Can anyone tell me if there’s a quick way (and one that a ‘computer dunce’ like myself could understand) to check if all the data on a CD is still intact?

Thanks in advance

I use a program called Isobuster to scan suspect CDs. (It was free download when I first obtained it but it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a free version)
Hope this helps

John had the program, I Googled the web page:

http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/

It’s part Free and part Paid.

It’s part Free and part Paid.

I remember now – the paid part is the part that actually repairs/recovers the damaged files. So you can identify the damaged images but not do anything about them.

The full version is free here 😉
