a better tree copy?

I'm trying to backup part of a drive to an external USB drive before
reformatting it and clean install windows XP.

If I drag and drop the entire C:\, it would stop somewhere and says that
some file cannot be accessed.

Is there a way to make it ignore the error and continue copying the rest of
the files, but keep a log of what file was not copied?

I don't like using xcopy; I prefer something with GUI. Or perhaps there is a
freeware to do this?

xxcopy overcomes many of the problems of xcopy.
