Hi,

I´m in search for a free file comparing tool, that works on a binary basis. I´m fighting some odd HD problems ... and need to ensure that BIG files copied from one partition to another are byte-wise identical.

Any recommendations?

Thanks a lot.

How about 'fc /b' from a command prompt ?

I use windiff, which comes with Visual Studio.

DOH! That simple!

Have been out of command line usage for a long time now ...

ThX!

:D

My command line knowledge is getting bit rusty around the edges, but still find it best way of accomplishing certain tasks.

Yup - never forget the basics!
