CDReader is a compact program for Windows with which you can verify different items for a wide range of errors. Please note that it is primarily intended for scanning optical discs and discovering any unreadable files stored on them.
Portable solution
Due to the fact that the application comes in the form of an executable, you have the ability to save it on your computer or on a USB flash drive, and just double click it to run. It is necessary to mention that it does non modify settings in the Windows registry, nor generate extra files on the HDD. If you want to verify burned discs for integrity, you can try another software like HT Fireman CD DVD Burner.
GUI and functionality
The tool features a basic graphical interface consisting of a standard window frame with a built-in file navigator. This means you are able to easily locate a specific drive or folder to verify it for reading errors. It is recommended to use bigger buffers for such operations.
Once the scan is completed, the utility reveals the total number of files and folders in the current place, along with the size and elapsed time. If any errors are detected, you can see the full path to the problematic file. You may also view the position of the error and its description.
