As stated above, I am using Windows XP Pro SP2. I hope I chose the RIGHT
Category for my question. I am NEW at this, so bear with me.
I am stuck with a question that I hope someone can give me an answer that
is
detail and perhaps a free tool if someone has it. The question is BEFORE
installation any CD or DVD, I want to be sure the CD or DVD has NO errors
of
any kind, so that I am confident that I will have installed a excellent
operating system with NO errors that will caused my system NOT to work the
way it should work. This TOOL must be able to detect errors in operating
system,etc....
Further, checks of a DVD or CD will test the condition of the media media
and perhaps something of the integrity of the data on it.
However, such checks will not and can not detect any potential errors that
might or might not arise from a later installation of the contents of the
drive. The disk check doesn't really care about what the contents are,
beyond checking that files match CRC checks.
The disk check cannot know anything about the hardware that the contents
will be installed to, or their quality or compatibility, whether good
programming practices or whether the programmers were about to collapse into
a drunken stupor.
Similarly, it certainly can not know what other drivers and apps the user is
going install, or permit to be installed, which may or may not compromise
the system.
None of those things can ever be revealed by a disk check.
So, I would sugges that, as the saying goes, you are digging in the wrong
place if you want to be sure an install goes well.

The SECOND question is about cleaning the DVD or CD. I am using MEMOREX
OPTIFIX PRO, which I hope someone is familiar with it. Do you think this
is
SAFE to clean operating systems or any MAIN DVD or CD?
