    Hi!

    Does anyone know a program that can copy files off a scratched CD/DVD and just jump over the unreadable files and copy all the good ones automatically?

    Windows has an INCREDIBLY stupid, irritating way of just stopping the whole copy process once it finds a bad file. Which means copying the good files off a DVD with 2000 files will take many hours!!

    I can't believe they haven't fixed this annoying bug in so many years!!!

    Anyone??

    Actually, the disk isn't scratched, but a bad burn. Most files are ok, but there are enough bad files to make it not worth the time fiddling with it using Winblows' internal file copier.

    So what I need is a program that does what Windows should have done for years, just jumping over the bad files, copying all the readable files and producing a log of which files weren't copied. Should be the simplest thing in the world, really...
