| When you first enter the Verify Page...
|
|
|
| · AC scans for CD/DVD drives and mounted discs and puts a list into the combo box --it automatically selects the drive that has a mounted disc. If multiple discs are mounted it picks the first one that it sees.
|
|
|
| You can select what your verify source is, Disc or Folder. Folder option would be for archives that were previously written to a folder.
|
|
|
|
| If the disc was made by Archive Creator...
|
| · You select whether to compare the files or read the files. The compare option will only work if this disc was made with AC. Select "Compare" if you know that the source files are still on the hard drive. Otherwise select "Just Read".
|
| · Click on Verify and AC looks to the disc to get the list of files that were originally archived on this disc
|
| · It first scans to make sure that all the files in the list are on the disc and on the HD. This is called a Quick Verify. If there are no errors, it then compares each CD file with each HD file bit for bit.
|
| · Errors are reported in the large list box.
|
| · Since the compare is based on the Archive File List, it does not bother to compare (and waste time) comparing the thumbnail files and the viewing image files. Just the original source files are compared.
|
| · If you know that the source files are no longer on the HD or have been moved, then select Read Only. In this case, also from the File List it reads every bit for each file in the list so that the CD integrity can be assured.
|
|
|
|
|
| If the disc was not made by Archive Creator...
|
| · This is detected when you click on Verify and you are told, and asked if you wish to read the entire disk.
|
| · If you say yes, then every bit (based on the files in the TOC) is read to check the integrity of the entire files system of the disc. This is great for discs that have been burned long ago to see if all files can be read from this drive.

| Needs Archiving Bit Management
|
|
|
| You can manage the archive bits on collections already burned. To do this, insert an Archive Creator generated disc or point to a folder. You will see a button called Manage "Needs Archiving" bit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Selecting this button or using the File menu item, you will see a dialog similar to the one below. This will give you the option of managing the archive bits for the source files on either the inserted disc only or the entire collection.
