I have a CD that has some damage to it but I'd like to recover as many of
the files as possible. When I try to copy the CD to my harddrive it stops as
soon as it hits a bad file, the same thing happens when I try and do an
Xcopy in MSDOS. Does anyone know of a way to jsut skip broken or damaged
files and move on to the enxt one?

CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) is a fairly common issue on
Optical media. To my knowledge there isn't a Skip-&-Continue
method for copying. You might check around on the Internet for
a tool that attempts to read the damaged areas more slowly. It's
not a high % approach but will sometimes let you retrieve data.
Otherwise you can do a manual copy of small sections of the disk,
- slow and cumbersome but will work.

Use the /C switch with xcopy. That tells it to continue even if errors
occur.
