In windows If I try to copy a large number of files and it encounters a problem with one, it stops there and does not tell me where it got up to.
How hard can it be for Microsoft to have programmed windows so that it can just log problem files and continue with the rest!? Seriously annoying..

Is there some way I an copy a lorge number of files, knowing some wont be readable, but no tknowing which files? Maybe some free software could do it since windows seems unable to do this simple thing.

This is a free software program that might fit your needs.

Copy your files faster with TeraCopy

I use a similar software called Copy Handler. It's free for windows as well. I've not used TeraCopy before however so I can't give a comparison. (edit: Link to a site comparing both utilities at the bottom)

Here's two links for a site's opinion on both TeraCopy and Copy Handler

Copy Handler

Download link for Copy Handler is at the page as well.

Copy Handler VS TeraCopy

Yep. Tera copy worked great, didn't try t'other
