### Screenshot: Scanning the medium for errors

The graphical representation gives information on the scanning progress and media state:

- The Speed chart provides a coarse estimation of the medium state since most drives will slow down as the medium quality degrades.

  To exclude any influences from other system activities you should not run any other programs during the medium scan. Also, do not operate any controls in the dvdisaster window during the scan.

- The spiral provides a (not drawn to scale) overview of the medium state. Red marks indicate the presence of read errors!

  | As soon as you notice read errors on your medium, try recovering the medium image and transfer it onto a new storage medium.

- Clicking on the symbol provides additional information on the reading process.
