What does "verify" mean to you? Do you think the ISO or the CD are somehow going to change over time or do you want to just verify after burning the ISO to the CD that they really are the same things? What ISO burning software are you using now and have you no confidence in it? ImgBurn if free and easy: http://www.imgburn.com/ It will burn your ISO, verify it when it is done and then you can use it again minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, later just to verify the ISO and CD still match using the built in Verify function. If you suspect that and feel a need to verify some ISO and a burned CD, you may have some other problem. You might want to look at some other burning software that has all this stuff built in.

It would seem if you did not verify as soon as you made the copy the hard disk content would have changed - evn just a little. I do not understand the purpose.

Me either. The question seemed to be how to verify an ISO with a burned image (I'm guessing that means CD). That question has been answered. Perhaps a new question is needed.

The content of the rest of he hard drive is irrelevant. What's important here is two things: the unexpanded content of the ISO file and whether or not the CDROM has physical error and/or damage to it's recording surface. Nothing else other than the age of the plastic would change it otherwise. -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) )
