I am trying to copy an old drive onto something newer so I can more easily access files, but the problem is a considerable portion of the files result in CRC errors, this wouldn't be a problem if I could just ignore that and get as many files on my newer drive as possible, but there seems to be no way to completely ignore errors.
Each error causes the copy process to stall for about 20 minutes before continuing, and I estimate there should be around 10,000 "bad" files on the drive (I do not want to risk an error happening any time in the over 3000 hours that would take) so is there a way to completely ignore errors and not even check for them?
I used the /c argument in the copy command, but that just tells the process to continue after it encounters an error, it does not ignore errors. I am running Windows 10.
I have now considered robocopy and determined it does not have the desired features (ignoring errors completely) Its even slower than xcopy (what I was using before). Unless there is some undocumented feature in robocopy to actually ignore errors, this is not what I am looking for.
I have again confirmed that robocopy IS NOT WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR, it does not have any clear functionality to NOT CHECK FOR ERRORS.
I do not want to check for errors, then skip if detected I want it to copy the exact file, as it is, and thats it, no checks at all.
