So my hard drive is dying, it has some bad sectors and every time I put stress on it the driver fails and disappears from my drivers list until I restart the lap top again, I have bunch of pictures that I would like to save, some of them died for sure but there is still a lot of them that can be opened

so now my question is how to copy them out of the drive without hitting the corrupt files which make the driver fail ?

I appreciate any help
