		<description>For # 9 you may also want to try Roadkil&#039;s Unstoppable Copier.

&quot;Recovers files from disks with physical damage. Allows you to copy files from disks with problems such as bad sectors, scratches or that just give errors when reading data. The program will attempt to recover every readable piece of a file and put the pieces together. Using this method most types of files can be made useable even if some parts of the file were not recoverable in the end.&quot;</description>

		<description>Your #9 is my #1 – all that other stuff can be fixed, this one has no alternative.

Add on top of that the fact that “are you sure you want to move file X” stops the entire progress rather than putting it in a confirmation queue.
Why not have a checkbox (similar to close this after download completes) that says “automatically move system files” and “automatically move read only files” and “… … …” so you can tell it to just copy and don’t ask any questions, and tell me about failures at the end rather than aborting.

To make matters worse, you can’t turn off indexing on vista.  Which, might sound like its own bullet point, but it is actually an extension of the above frustration.   If you plug up your old XP drive to your new Vista box, and you try copying over 100 GB of junk, your new vista box has to index every single file as part of the copy process.  Making an operation that would take 2 hours on XP or Ubuntu take 16+ hours on vista. Not something you want to wait for after a fresh install when you want to start using the box.  You cant disable indexing, and, you can’t just set it up to copy overnight, because half hour into the operation, it will hit a read only file and wait…</description>
