Skipping copying errors

Hi,
I'm trying to copy a large number of files over a
network, and some random files are corrupted, as they
won't copy over, read or even delete. When I try and copy
them over to the other PC, they get up to whichever ones
are corruped, and get an error message then stop.
Is there a way to copy them over, and skip the corrupted
ones? Is there an option to turn off the messages that
cause it all to stop copying?
I've heard something about 'xcopy' but I have no idea how
to use this, and it's over a network so I can't properly
put in the location of the file to copy.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Use the xcopy command from the command prompt. Type xcopy /? for a list
of options.
