Quote - Verification works for me, if the files aren't in use, and it's a worthwhile check - at least until you're sure the thing is reliable. If the files are zips you could just use your archiver's Check function, which should catch many forms of corruption. One thing I did find, on my old systems, was that having DMA on for the CD drive could cause problems but I doubt that would still be an issue n a new machine.

I use Winzip for zipping and unzippling.  I didn't know you could verify the archives.  Can you tell me how to do that with Winzip?

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
