Re: [newbie] Compare Disks

But I suppose calculating md5sum for each disk and comparing could take a little time depending on your machine? -- Jordan Elver http://www.jordanelver.co.uk "I think I'll side with the pissheads on this one." --- Larry Wall Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I would like a way to do this, I don't seem to get on with many of the gui cd burning software available and would like a quick command line for it. I'm sure there must be something.

TIA, Cheers, Jord Xcdroast will verify a disc write for you, of cause that assumes that the original cashing up is done write, but not withstanding an accurate read it does a fair job of ensuring the finish write to CD is a true and fair copy of the cashed up . I don't see why there shouldn't be a command line way, of reading the disk and comparing with the written disc , in the way you describe . It would be interesting to know if anyone has a method. If xcdroast a gui front end can read a harddrive and compare it with a disc then Igues the same programme can read on cd and compare it with another CD.

Hi, Is there a command to compare the contents of two cds? So, I put one cd in my cdburner, one in my dvd drive. Can I compare that they contain exactly the same files?
