After my HD gave me crc errors I wanted to copy one drive to another and picked up a new 1TB hd.

I am using the command robocopy G: J: /MIR /COPYALL /ZB

First it tried copying the file a few times (i didnt count, its not in my window anymore) and got an access denied error, error 5. Then it tried again and locked up. I tried copying that specific file (14mb) and windows says "cant read from source file or disk".

I started robocopy again. Hopefully it will ignore it after a fail attempt or two but what options can i use to say if it doesnt work continue to the next file. It looked like that is what it was doing but for this last one it repeated more then 4times and locked up finally.

I'm open to other copy solutions. I do prefer built in solutions. I am using windows 7

Also how might i do this without the /MIR option. Is /S /E good enough? flag reference here

-edit- i see i can control retries with /R: but i am still open to alternative solutions.

    The problem originated when I was trying to fix this problem. Things went horribly, horribly wrong and I ended up with a new problem altogether.
