Hello community.
Does it exist a Windows utility (software) which checks the currently copied file, and if there is a checksum error, tries to copy again, maybe 5-6 times before it skips and copies the next file?
I have utilities, which can show me, that the copied files failed. But this is not enough for me. I want that the program tries to copy again.
To make the long story short, I have a medium (iPod) which gives random errors when copying files onto it. There are not a lot of errors, but still I would like a 100% perfect copy.
The program I use to copy files tells me when there are errors and which files. But I have than to manually remove the bad files (50-100 files, if I copy my whole library) and copy them again, which is than in most cases successful.
And no, the media is not defective, the problem is a buggy firmware (Rockbox).
