I need to make robocopy copy some files from a damaged hard drive and automatically give up after one attempt to copy the file and move on to the next without user interaction. I know its possible but I cannot for the life of me remember the correct syntax!!

Help!

/r:1 /w:0

That will retry 1 time, and wait 0 seconds between retries.

Adjust the values to suit.

Use Unstoppable copier instead. Recently used it for this exact same reason.

Set it to one retry and go ahead.

Tick the log file too
