• Very nice utility. Easy to Use.

  Jacqueline Goodison12/1/2008

  Pros

  This was a safe, easy to use program. It can scan Hard Drives, Floppies or CD/DVDs. It will tell you the number of bytes that are used, how many files and folders, and give you speed statistics. I can work on other programs while it is running.

  Cons

  Youl have to go to their website to get an activation code with first use, however they do not ask you for your email, you merely click on the ACT sign next to the DiskCheck spot in the blue box and copy and paste the code.

  Summary

  Nice lightweight product. It does seem as if I can't scroll in the "window" of actions and error messages - but that might be because it's running now. There is a file name and I can't read it to the end. Regarding activation, keep in mind that you need to check the ACT sign, and not the link to the program. You will click the ACT sign for DiskCheck, NOT Emsa Encryptor. (At first glance I wanted to choose the only one that said "Emsa" but it wasn't the DiskCheck.) If you do it wrong, it's no big deal, you'll just a description of the program. It was a quick and painless activation process that required absolutely no giving of any information (except it opened an IE window and I was working in Opera). This is not a hugely comprehensive tool, but it is a friendly lightweight useful tool.

• Handy rental DVD checker

  realj427/29/2008

  Pros

  One great use for this software - checking those rental DVDs you get in the post (or from the store) before you watch them and then they fail half way through - if that's ever happenned to you you'll value this software.

  Cons

  A bit primitive - but hey it's free.

• Seems OK

  bill.timmins6/3/2007

  Pros

  Just to critique the editors review in that you can (now at least) save the log info by right clicking so it is possible to see the full results.

  Cons

  It's caller a checker, not a fixer, so it's not really fair to complain that it doesn't fix.

• Double checks for CD/DVD errors!

  Herbert Talabis7/17/2006

  Pros

  You'd probably encountered a DVD/CD burned but after accessing it afterwards the DVD/CD has 1 or more errors. This simple program checks your whole DVD/CD for any errors that may encounter so you won't worry that one or more files might be unreadable. A must have for those who burn frequently.

  Cons

  Windows 95 GUI menu
