Good morning,
We use Toast442.org's MD5, http://www.toast442.org/, to run our
checksums. It is free Windows software and works rather well from
our perspective. We have used it for about 3 years. All checksums
generated are kept in the folder containing the digital files and is
named so that we know exactly what it is for. In our case, we give
everything a batch number, so the checksum is saved using that
particular batch code. Should the data in folder change, a very
rare occurrence, the checksum would be run again.
In the three years that you (or anyone else) have been using this,
has it ever reported an error that was not reported by the operating system?
If you have had an error reported by either the checksum software or
the operating system, was it repairable in any way or did you go to
another copy?
Cheers,
Richard
