loveberg50 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 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.
Cynthia Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum, loveberg50! Might give some more clues if you could post the log of the failed verify. You'll find it here Main Menu -> Help -> ImgBurn Logs

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Normally it's caused by a program changing the data on the fly (on purpose) or you've got some dodgy memory / hdd in the machine that's not 100% reliable. Try running memtest+ on the machine for a few passes.
loveberg50 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 i'm not good with this stuff. how do i run memtest? i just googled it and downloaded a memtest with iso. do i just run imgburn and memtest will operate? what do i do?

You need to create a bootable floppy, CD or USB thumb drive, and boot to that. Then run memtest from the command line. As an alternative, you can try a Windows-based memory tester: http://hcidesign.com/memtest/ It was rec'd to me by my memory vendor, for testing my speed settings. Sounds like it might be a bit easier for you to use. Cheers, Jim
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Burn the memtest+ iso to a cdrw or something and then reboot your pc. If the boot order is such that cdrom comes before hdd it'll boot straight into memtest and begin checking your memory. If it's not you'll need to make some changes in the bios or try and access a boot option type screen.
loveberg50 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 no worries, i found it as a downloadable program and have done that. i ran it for 24 hours and it found nothing. what should i do now?

dontasciime Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 1. Double-click My Computer, and then right-click the hard disk that you want to check. 2. Click Properties, and then click Tools. 3. Under Error-checking, click Check Now. A dialog box that shows the Check disk options is displayed, 4. Use one of the following procedures:

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 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: http://beeblebrox.org/hashtab/
