Description

Validates installation CDs and DVDs for read errors or media problems. It is useful for users and administrators confirming that physical installation media is still reliable before installing or recovering a system.

Media checks can take time and depend on the drive, disc condition, and expected checksum data. Do not rely on damaged installation media for critical recovery work.
