Not sure what you're talking about. I don't favour other OS's. In fact all my PCs use Windows XP. Says it right there in the top right corner of all my posts what OS I use, if you'd bothered to look. And no, I don't have issues with the Windows OS. Just lookup a few of my posts, you'll see if I do anything, it's defend Windows and Microsoft from anti-commercialism advocates. *Hint: look for threads started by the user 'DJoe'.
The truth is, if you use Explorer to copy or move files, it will abort the operation when it encounters an error - whether this be a CRC error, locked file, or disconnected drive for the source; or a disconnected, corrupted, or otherwise inaccessible drive for the destination. The reason Windows does it for overwriting files but not errors? User acceptance. If you specify what action to take when overwriting files, you know what's going to happen beforehand. If it continues copying/moving files even after critical errors, the user assumes the operation was complete. Even if half the files weren't even copied.
That said, I never said it was impossible; I did give you a specific command you could use to copy your files the way you want, without having to purchase expensive and bloated backup software, or having to use a different OS. This apparently wasn't good enough for you, so I really don't know what else you're expecting. But hey, maybe you could try bumping the thread again, maybe that will perform some magic.
