That is because /dev/scd0 is a partition! /dev/cdrom is the equivalent of /dev/scd (DEVICES) You're thinking of /mnt/cdrom (PARTITIONS) /mnt/cdrom is a convince mount point for a PARTITION, not the DEVICE!
That is why checksums on /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd don't match, as well as /mnt/cdrom and /dev/cdrom The devices will contain the MBR and partition tables. This is why the /dev versions (without a number) have more blocks. ----- Original Message ---- From: SourceForge.net <nore...@sourceforge.net> To: nore...@sourceforge.net Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2009 8:30:19 PM Subject: [GnuWin32-Users] [gnuwin32 - Help] RE: Verifying checksum of a CD Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=7591035 By: gnuwin32 The format \\.\D: seems indeed the correct one for opening a physical volume, according to the description for CreateFile on MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363858(VS.85).aspx). Also, the GnuWin32 md5sum \\.\D: gives the same result as the CygWin md5sum \\.\D: and md5sum /dev/scd0. So, I'm at a loss as to what is going wrong here. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
