1. A computer-implemented method for displaying validation information about a data block using a graphical user interface, comprising:
- reading metadata stored within the data block, the data block stored within a computer-readable medium;
displaying the metadata, wherein the metadata is editable;
computing validation information about the metadata; and
indicating whether the data block in the computer-readable medium is corrupted or not corrupted based on the validation information.

Abstract
A graphical user interface receives data in the form of a data block. The graphical user interface displays the data and metadata associated with the data block. The graphical user interface also displays validation information computed by the graphical user interface or an associated validation module. The displayed data is editable. The graphical user interface allows a user to navigate through the various data blocks stored in a data file, to located selected blocks, such a corrupted blocks.

11. A computer processing system for displaying and validating information about a data block, comprising:
-
a graphical user interface for indicating whether the data block stored within a computer-readable medium is corrupted or not corrupted, the graphical user interface comprising a first region for displaying metadata associated with the data block and a second region for displaying validation information, the validation information being based at least in part on the metadata associated with the data block; and
a validation module for reading the metadata, and computing validation information about the metadata. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer program product that includes a medium useable by a processor, the medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by said processor, causes said processor to execute a computer-implemented method for displaying information about a data block using a graphical user interface, comprising:
-
reading metadata stored within the data block, the data block stored within a computer-readable medium;
displaying the metadata, wherein the metadata is editable;
computing validation information about the metadata; and
indicating whether the data block in the computer-readable medium is valid or invalid corrupted or not corrupted based on the validation information. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
