Copying from one damaged HD to a new one. Some files are damaged, and gives me the 'cyclic redundancy' error. Is there a way/program that I can mass copy it, and skip/fix the damaged files. As it is, when it hits a bad file, it exits out. It doesn't ask the yes/no/all thing. I hate to babysit it all the way through

A great program that you can try is called YCopy. It is freeware and allows to mass copy files and it will bypass errors caused by corrupt files. Be careful though. It will also copy viruses and spyware that may be making those files corrupt. Be sure that you have a good anti-virus and anti-spyware program on the computer that you are going to transfer the data to.

most of the programs for damaged hd recovery are rather expensive (there marketed towards recovery and repair companies) so unless you wish to spend some good money to be sure to get a very capable program (or look for a freeware one that may not do the job properly) my suggestion? go with the babysitting. it's annoying but you only have ot do it once. if you need to do it more then once (technical position or whatever) then go with the program.

Well if the computer works without the damied hard drive. And if the hard drive is IDE. Buy a USB to IDE cabale around $25 and try that buy just draging and droping. As long as the files dont need to be placed anywhere spacific.
