Anyone know if there a MOVE function similar to XCOPY in
windows - or can u suggest a different "explorer shell" alternative that
offers a skip/ignore option when file transfers strike an error???
Within windows, if moving a batch of files (from within explorer) strikes an
error - it simply spits out a simple error message, with OK. Once you hit
OK, you must re-highlight the remaining files and drag/drop again.
VERY tedious when I have a failing hard drive I am trying to transfer files
from,
with several thousand individual files - and it seems many corrupted ones -
to interrupt proceedings.
I tried to do XCOPY from within command prompt, with the ignore errors
switch
but this can be a bit risky, as i must then go back later and delete all the
original files from the
damaged disk, and if an external error occurs (which is exempt from the
ignore errors switch)
then i could end up deleting files that were not successfully copied across.
I would prefer to MOVE them, so that i know exactly what files remain on the
original disk
and which have moved across
Any thoughts anybody???
Thanx & Merry Xmas
