I have a 4GB SD Card with photos and videos from my Christmas vacation. I want to copy the files to my computer. The problem that I am experiencing is that the copy is failing on certain files and this causes Windows explorer to crash and/or the command line (when using xcopy) to stop responding.
What I am doing:
1. Insert SD Card into built-in SD Card reader slot on my laptop
2. Use xcopy on the command line to copy all of the files from the memory card into a folder on my c: drive
Problem: xcopy fails on a particular file. When I delete this file, it will fail on another one. (I repeated this process a couple of times).
It appears from this that some files on my memory card may be corrupted. I want to copy as much data from my card as is still good. However, because I have a lot of pictures on the card, the process of manually deleting the bad data and then trying the copy again is cumbersome. What should I do?
Thank you.
I tried searching the forum and wasn't sure how to adapt advice given in similar threads to my particular situation.
