CD error detection

[Lin Howard]

Thanks for your help fellows. I have made a little progress in my search. There is a product called DED ($200) and DED Pro ($350) that you can attach to the coaxial or optical output of your CD player and it will either blink or count, depending on which model you get.

The PlexWriter Premium burner ($100) has software called Plextools that has a test called Q-check that I think will show fixable and unfixable errors.

I found a freeware program and have downloaded it. I don't want to load it till I get my c drive backed up by Drive Image. I haven't done this in a coupla years (since Rich told me about the Stomp Back Up My PC program). Naturally, Drive Image is giving me grief, but once I figure out that speed bump, I'll give this freebie a try and let you know how it works out.

Can't get much more frugal than free....
