Hi everyone,
I have many back-up CDs, and I’d like to classify their contents. So I’d use Filegrabber to save the directories to a .txt, then use Excel to import the .txt and handle more easily.
The thing is, several CDs have failed sectors, so some files will not read. In my Excel file I’d like to keep record of the files that can be read and only these, and do away with the rest.
What I need to know is if there is a software that will do the testing for me (ie, ‘try to open’ each file, then report which files did not open). I could try to copy the whole CD to my HD and then check which files did not copy, but
1) I do not have enough free HD space
2) When a file fails to copy, the whole copy process stops, so some files which did not copy may belong to the group of files that can be read from the CD.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much
