Verifying "Move/Copy" Activity
Is there a way to "verify" that a moved or copied folder is exactly the
same after completing the function (XP Pro). |

Verifying "Move/Copy" Activity
Is there a way to "verify" that a moved or copied folder is exactly
the same after completing the function (XP Pro). Yes. Run a CRC or a HASH on them in both locations. CRC or HASH should match. AFAIK there are no problems in XP that way, but there are lots of CRC/HASH calculators all over the 'net. |

Verifying "Move/Copy" Activity
But, do you really need it? Under what condition would they differ?

I downloaded a "hash" program (shellex), tested it on a couple of xferred files and it's great. |

I downloaded a "hash" program (shellex), tested it on a couple of xferred files and it's great. Interesting that you should ask: I'm trying to work out a problem where the copied file does indeed differ from the source file. Details as follows: Originally, I was puzzled that creating an image with True Image version 9.0 (build 3.854) created a corrupted file when the destination of the image was a USB-attached WD drive while no such problem happened using the bootable (Linux-based) True Image program and no such problem happened when the destination was an internal SATA drive. That led me to copy one good 4.33gb slice of the image to the USB-attached drive. Running check sums on the original and the copy showed they were different. No error messages from True Image (other than reporting corruption in the validation operation) or from Copy and Paste. Both the source and destination file systems are NTFS (4K clusters). I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3. The machine has 3gb of installed memory. Memory tests show no problems. I've mucked around with updating USB drivers in SAFE and normal mode. It appears to be a problem with the USB support but I clearly have not arrived at an answer. "verify on" doesn't change anything but of course that just insures that a written file can be read -- not that the data is what one would expect. Copying the source file to another internal drive does not exhibit the same problem. Seems to me that if it were a hardware problem that I'd have problems with the bootable version of True Image. The problem must involve the Windows support. I get different checksums each time I copy the file. Trust but verify is not a bad rule. |

File copy doesn't and pretends it does
No error message. Details as follows: Originally, I was puzzled that creating an image with True Image version 9.0 (build 3.854) created a corrupted file when the destination of the image was a USB-attached WD drive while no such problem happened using the bootable (Linux-based) True Image program and no such problem happened when the destination was an internal SATA drive.

Bob Resolved by mucking around in the USB entries (Device Management) and applying the latest BIOS upgrade. The former was likely the actual fix. The message is: If True Image creates corrupted files, you may have a more serious problem. |
