    Software to continue copying...

    Looking for suggestions for software (free if possible) that will continue a copying instruction if an error is encountered.

    My situation... I have a CD-RW with A LOT of files on it, and I know that at least one is bad, but if I try to copy all the files and folders to dump on a hard drive, as soon as it encounters the bad file (seems to be a crc error for one particular file, so far), it halts the operation.

    Now, I don't particularly want to select all but the one, start the copy again, then come back to the computer and find that it failed on another, so I'm looking for some software that will just continue copying what was initially ordered, then serve a report at the end, telling me if any were unsuccessful.

    Anything out there that will do the job?

          Not exactly what you asked for - seems this should copy everything

              I remember one called "Unstoppable Copier". It seems to still be around.

                  Thanks for the suggestions.

                  I think Recuva is more for deleted/lost files, but I'll give it a go if I don't have any luck with the other options.

                  I did try the xcopy, but it began, and failed with a crc error when it hit the first bad file.

                  I remember coming across unstoppable copier before, I think when I was trying to recover from a clicking HDD, but didn't need to use it in the end. I've downloaded it, and have it working away on another PC. Hopefully it will do the business.

                      yeah it's for lost files and deleted files but i believe it will continue through a copy no matter the file damage. i will look around on my home computer tonight I just did this about 6 months ago myself

                                      Your quoted link was written by someone who obviously doesn't have much of a clue.

                                      Retiredcaps nailed it.

                                      Xcopy does everything you'd ever need, and if not, Robocopy does the rest.
                                      I've never needed any third party tools, or dumbed down GUIs ( like Synctoy)
                                      Xcopy and Robocopy are all you need.

                                      Edit:
                                      Or hobocopy if you need to copy files that are locked in-use and don't want to mess with VSS commands.

                                          I have used this command since DOS 3.X. I still use it daily in a batch file to copy all the files that have been modified from one hard drive to another so I have a backup copy of everything.

                                              Try ddrescue. It's free (as in freedom) and open-source.

                                                                  Thanks again for the suggestions...

                                                                  I ended up trying getting xcopy to work, and it worked fine; I hadn't been using the parameters correctly.

                                                                  Unstoppable copier worked fine too, there were 849 files on the CD-RW, and both methods were able to recover 847 of the files, 2 were bad.

                                                                  However, unstoppable copier was also able to dump what it could of the 2 bad files. One was a pdf (couldn't open that at all), but the other was a rar file, and although it wasn't intact, I was able to get most of the files from the compressed file. It didn't really matter, as I had another copy of that file elsewhere, but it was still a useful exercise

                                                                      I have a JVC LT-55C870(C). All that happens upon applying power is the red led flashes slowly (1Hz).
                                                                      If I hold the OK on the remote while powering on, the led flashes at 2Hz, but without a USB Device attached, it obviously does nothing, no screen or backlight.

                                                                      Any thoughts on this being corrupted software?

                                                                      Owner says the TV experienced a power surge.

                                                                      If software is a possibility, can someone point me in the right direction to download the correct software. Is there a procedure to force software to load from USB?
