Here's what I'd probably try next...

 

Use an MD5 calculation program to generate the MD5 / SHA-1 of a large image file (4GB+) on your hard disk. Make a note of it, reboot and then do the same thing again. Then reboot and do it again for good measure.

 

Hopefully all 3 will come out to the same value.

 

Next, try reading a disc to an image file. Make note of the MD5 from the ImgBurn log, delete the file, reboot and then do it again a couple more times.

 

Hopefully all 3 will come out to the same value.

 

For MD5'ing files I use a program called HashTab which you can download for free from:

how do i do this? each time i try to run it, it only accesses a different program on my computer...

i keep getting a miscompare when verifing disks. i am using updated version of img burn, i am also using good quality disks. i can burn just fine, but when i attempt to verify it, it will error out starting around half way through. i have tried a new power supply for my burner and that did the trick for 3 burns, then it started miscomparing again. any thoughts? thanks a ton, i'm very frusterated.
