Program to copy files in Windows XP?

I'm copying a whole drive on to another drive.

Select all then copy and paste should be good enough, but :rolleyes: it's never that simple is it :mad:

Every now and then it says "Cannot copy file ^&£%^"%"%£%&^" and there's only an "OK" button. Press OK and it cancels the WHOLE transfer.

So what I need is something to copy everything on "E:\" to "C:\BackUp\", which doesn't go "Oh someone forgot to program an Ignore button so I'm going to cancel now, OK?" whenever there's an error. Basically, something that will copy everything it can, and ignore everything it can't.

Any advice on this, please?! :)

Thanks in advance
 
I think I may have found a solution - the powah of DOS!

But if you have any other solutions I'd still be interested to hear them :) I'll update if DOS can get past the file name errors that Explorer can't.
