Tutorial 5: How can I ensure that files have the SAME CONTENT

Task:
Ensure that data on my burned CD disk has the SAME CONTENT as source data on my hard drive.

Solution:

Select interesting for you directories in the directories tree. For example, in the left tree select "ñ:\My Documents" and in the right tree select "f:\My Documents". Where "f:\" you CD drive letter.

Switch the comparison mode. To switch the mode click on the button Compare content for duplicate files (

) in the Trees toolbar or select menu File|Content comparison (ALT+B). Switching to content mode will occur additional comparison of content for duplicate files which have the same size.

Compare selected directories. To compare selected directories with their subdirectories click on the button Compare with subdirectories (

) on the Trees toolbar or press ALT+F5.

In the menu Show or in the Visibility filters combobox select Not equal by content duplicate files. ADCS will show all files within the directory on CD drive "f:\My Documents" which contents are different from the source directory on the hard drive "c:\My Documents".
