DOS Verify (not really) |
|
|
I've been searching through the information on TechNet on
NTFS for information on how data is written to a hard
drive. In the "old" DOS days, there was the Verify
(on/off) command that would allow you to verify that data
had actually been written to the hard drive. I'm not sure
that it guarenteed that it was the 'correct' data, just
that it had been written there. The only way to really
verify it is to read it back and do a compare to the
source.
Well, enter NTFS. It does all sorts of logging and
journaling, but I can't find anywhere that states that it
guarentees that the data was written and that the data is
correct. Does anyone know how this works or where I can
look for this information?
Thanks, Tom |

From a command prompt;
xcopy /?
you can use the /v switch.
