How to identify an original file from copies
Hi
To start with I am trying to work out how to differentiate an original file from a CD copy. I thought that I might be able to use the "date created" file attribute.
As a result I am trying to work out what happens to the "date created" (not date modified) attached to a file when it is written/burnt to a cd or dvd (right click the column headers in file explorer and check "date created" to view the value). Is the "date created' on files written to the CD/DVD supposed to be the same, always different, or different although somehow related to the "date created" on the original file?
I checked a single text file, and recorded the values before and after writing the file to a CD, and these were the results:
C:\Temp\check.txt 11/28/2011 9:26:23 PM (from HDD before writing/burning)
D:\check.txt 11/29/2011 8:26:23 AM (from the file written to the DVD drive)
To me it seems as though the values are somehow related as the minutes and seconds are identical even though the day and hours are different, although I am not sure what the relationship is. I double checked the results by erasing the disc and performing the check a second time, and got the same results.
Is this the expected result?

All men have an inherent right to life, the right to self determination including freedom from forced or compulsory labour, a right to hold opinions and the freedom of expression, and the right to a fair trial and freedom from torture. Be aware that these rights are universal and inalienable (cannot be given, taken or otherwise transferred or removed) although you do risk losing the aforementioned rights should you fail to uphold them e.g Charles Taylor; United Nations sources: http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/, http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Professional...ages/CCPR.aspx. Also Charles I was beheaded on the 30th of January of 1649 for trying to replace parliamentary democracy with an absolute monarchy, the same should happen to Dr Phil and Stephen Fry; source: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ute-Monarchism.
