Why does XP Freeze when I transfer files from one Ex. Drive to another?

Question

I resurrected a dead hard drive. Most files transfer off perfectly but the occasional file freezes windows (bad data).

Is there a way around this, perhaps something similar to windows explorer?

I just want some of the files, I don't care to use recovery software :)

Answer 1

If the drive is faulty, or for any other reason has badly corrupted files this will always happen. There is nothing you can do about it.
