How to copy many many files . . .

[InOverMyHead]

I'm copying a bunch of files from an old CD. Something like 10% are broken
(can't read data) and each bad one stops the copy process dead in its
tracks!! I can de-select the offending file, then try again, but wow - this
is taking forever.

Is there a way to copy *.* in such a way that it won't stop for one bad
file, but will simply skip it and proceed on to the next file? maybe a
command line entry? or a utility prog? (This problem is not confined to CD
media, so lets not worry about cleaning the disk, etc.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps xcopy with the /C switch will work for you. Do a xcopy /? for the
details.

Another option is robocopy - I tend to prefer it.
