I have a big partition with thousands of files to transfer to another
partition on another disk.
So I copied all files from the first disk and pasted them to the second
one with xcopy:
XXCOPY.EXE "H:\backup\*.*" "G:\" /BU /V /oNXXcopyErr.log /EC
Everything was going well when suddenly I had a crash and 3 partitions
out of 5 where completely destroyed!
The XXcopyErr.log file has also been destroyed.
I had a recent backup, so everything was ok again after an hour.
I made the same copy again and got exactly the same crash.
This probably means that one of the thousands files is damaged and
causes the crash.
The scandisk didn't show any problem.
Is there a way to find out which file is damaged without danger of
crashing?
Thank you
Horst

I have seen this behavour when using large hard disks and 48-bit LBA was NOT
enabled.
