EXPERT RESPONSE
Yes. I recommend using the command-line copying tool called RoboCopy. Microsoft now includes it in its default Windows Vista package but is available as a free download for Windows XP and Windows 2000.
RoboCopy can copy error-prone files in a forgiving way (i.e., skip files that can't be copied and just continue). It also attempts retries when copying across a network connection that may be prone to being dropped or disconnected. I've used this program to recover some error-riddled file repositories from another hard disk drive, and salvage what could be used. There is also a GUI for Robocopy.
