Hello list,

   I have a crashed Hard Drive that I need to recover files off of.  When I
say crashed it is not unaccessible, it has many bad sectors so some files
are unrecoverable.

What I am looking for is some kind of utility that will copy the good files
and not give me an error message or abort when I copy a file that is
unrecoverable.  Anything important I have on backup tape or CD, there are
some goodies on there I would like to copy to another Hard Drive (i.e. wav
files, screen savers, shareware) nothing I couldn't just download again but
I would like to save the time.

I have tried zipping up directories on the drive using Winzip but it aborts
when it finds a bad file.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob
