Hi there,
I have an older laptop that is starting to behave very poorly, and has alot of pictures on it and many (most) are not backed up. So, I decided to try to copy all these pics onto an external drive, and then I plan on reformatting the drive on the computer. The computer is running Windows XP.
As I have been copying the folders onto the external drive, nearly every one will copy about half way and then the computer will spit out an error message saying that it can't copy a certain picture in that folder due to a cyclical redundancy error. I can open the folder and copy all the rest of the pictures individually, but this is proving to take a realllllly long time.
I was wondering if any of you know if there is a way to get the computer to ignore the corrupt pictures, or maybe just detect and delete the corrupt pics, or something... At the rate I am going, I will be an old man before I complete this process.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
Chad
