Hello, I have a hard drive that is full of bad sectors.
When copying files through mc, you have to press enter to skip an unreadable sector.
Is there an option how to copy information from working sectors, and skip the one on the broken ones?

The ddrescue utility is specifically designed for this.

dd?
noerror continue after read errors
You can also call dd from find -type f and copy file by file.
