I have a number of CDs written seven or eight years ago. If I copy all the files to my hard drive in Windows Explorer, a message will come up telling me that a certain file is corrupt and cannot be copied. Windows then stops copying, which makes it quite a lengthy process. Ian Smith
If you open a Command Prompt (looks like MS DOS), then the xcopy command will do the job. However, I suggest you try Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier for Windows and Linux. This can be set up to ignore damaged files, but will also, as the blurb says, "attempt to recover every readable piece of a file and put the pieces together. Using this method most types of files can be made useable even if some parts were not recoverable in the end." The program is free but Roadkil welcomes donations via PayPal.
